C/C++ not working 79a

Hi all,

Am using SXDE 79a , but am unable to run C/C++ programs on it..

here are some of the commands i use to run it, but to no avail.

for c programs
cc <scirpt.>
cc -Xc <scrpit.c>

For c++
CC <script.cpp>

not a single command from these would work..
however when i ran , man cc , i got the man page for cc(so wondering how its possible that man pages are loaded and not the compiler dependencies)

Do i need to download gcc or cc compilers or is there a work around?

Thanks
