From another message it's clear that not only does the rpm database 
think that you have the gcc package installed, which is all that above 
shows, but there really is a gcc binary and it's even in your $PATH, 
since gcc responded "no input files" .

But, this error shows that in the environment set up by rpm to do 
installs, gcc is not in PATH. "make" and "/bin/sh" couldn't find gcc. I 
don't know off hand where that is defined for rpm if it doesn't simply 
come from your own environment before running rpm.
