Since, Yahoo! was constantly bouncing my emails to the list, I have subscribed temporarily on a different email id. So, to begin posting, I have included a URL below that points to a How-To for beginners to using GCC.

Please feel free to make any changes to the document. Suggestions / Comments / Criticism ?
Thanks to your write up, I compiled my first C and C++ programs.
Those doing it for the first time, please note that if you copy/paste the program code from the wiki page directly into the vi editor, it adds extra comment characters '//' on different lines and that gives compiling errors. So simply remove the '//' characters manually. GCC may be already loaded in your system but G++ may be missing, So install the build-essential package as mentioned in the wiki.
That was fun. :)
