unable to use GAWK

The following message is being prompted while using gawk in my ksh :

gawk: not found

any idea how to fix this ?

some possibilities -

  1. your PATH variable does not have the directory gawk lives in
echo $PATH

this assumes you can find gawk - see #2

  1. gawk is not installed.
find / -name gawk 2>/dev/null
  1. you defined an alias for gawk that is incorrect.
alias | grep gawk

try each command
