Well, it does not bother me that you get
bash: gcc: command not found
because you can easily get gcc from your SuSE cd if you don't actually have it on your box. But it does bother me that you get
myriad:~ # locate gcc bash: locate: command not found
This means that your bash shell does not know the command locate which is about the same as saying you do not know your own name. This is very odd.
First let's try the command
man locate
If this does not get you a big page of stuff, then can you reboot as root (not just superuser)?

Install it. locate is in a separate package which is not installed by default in 8.0. The package name is findutils-locate

Not half as odd as that comment. //Anders
