arm7 with linux

how u unzipped the file ? u should use tar utility if it in gz format otherwise the gcc will not work bcoz wen unzipping it wil make some link and some other things will happen. try to unzip with tar utility in linux then ther will be some script file whic will guide u further .... to instal the gcc .if u want to know the usage of gcc try man gcc in command line
