Just add gcc to the PATH env variable.

like this:

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin

Incomprehensible. Thats like saying you dont have /usr/bin in your
PATH. The companion CD usually installs SW in /opt/sfw/*

I dont use anything that old but lets assume gcc gets put in /opt/sfw/
bin.
Append that to your PATH. Read the man pages of whatever shell you
use,
but heres an example hint:
# echo 'PATH=$PATH:/opt/sfw/bin export PATH' >> /.profile
# . /.profile

(that's assuming that you're using ksh or bash)

Looking at your shell prompt, I'd also say that you shouldn't work as
root. Create a regular user account, and use that. If you need to do
things that need admin rights, either 'su' to root temporarily, or get
sudo.
