    Try running:

        rpm -qa | grep gcc

    And looking at the output. The package is probably named something like "gcc8".

    Hi,

    there is a great possibility, that the original toolbox is outdated - sorry.

    please use: https://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/

    And look for the gcc regarding your AIX-Version (RPMS/ppc.x.y/....) . you will have to install the ore multiple ground-package and then update to latest version.

    Hi Asim,

    You need to install the corresponding default gcc meta package to launch the commands like gcc or g++.
    Otherwise you need to call the gcc command with version specific binary. For example gcc-8 or g++-8.
    Have a look at this post to know more on gcc multi version support
    https://community.ibm.com/community/user/power/blogs/sangamesh-mallayya1/2020/12/17/aix-gcc-multi-version-support-improvements?CommunityKey=10c1d831-47ee-4d92-a138-b03f7896f7c9&tab=recentcommunityblogsdashboard

    For AIX 7.1 and 7.2 the default meta package right now is gcc-8-1.aix7.1.ppc.rpm & gcc-8-1.aix7.2.ppc.rpm which has dependency on gcc8.
    And For AIX 7.3 the default one is gcc-10-1.aix7.3.ppc.rpm which has a dependency on gcc10.

    gcc meta package is also available on AIX toolbox.
    gcc packages those does not have version number in package name are the meta packages.

    Hello.

    Our application guys did also IIB > ACE upgrade, we installed then gcc pre-reqs via YUM ( yum install gcc-cpp ) , I believe the needed packages are these:

    rpm -qa |grep gc   

    gcc8-cpp-8.3.0-6.ppc

    libgcc-8-1.ppc

    libgcc8-8.3.0-6.ppc

    gcc8-8.3.0-6.ppc

    gcc-cpp-8-1.ppc
