Hi there. The gcc4 RPM package you downloaded contains an executable
called gcc4, not gcc.
The reason this is present in the FC3 distribution is to give choice to
the users. The default gcc version is gcc-3.4.2, and this one contains
the gcc binary executable you need.
Visit fedorafaq.org for some tips on how to install packages. Once you
have yum set up properly, and you have Internet access,
yum install gcc
is all that is needed to download and install RPM packages.
Cheers,
Michael
