Few days ago, I updated as usual and there was available a yay update for the gcc compiler. It takes very long time (more than two hours). While compiling, multiple “failed” came out but while it was still compiling, I had the necessity to plug-out the monitor to plug it to another device; than I switched to my pc again. After this, terminal was still opened (there was a little dot near the icon on the dock) but no windows of it was on screen. I kept on it for along but then I turned off the pc. Now, I would know if there’s a way to check if the compiler has been installed in the correct way (I don’t think so) or if I have to reinstall it. Any suggestion? Thanks in advance ---

Just install the `base-devel` package via pacman or yay. It the easiest way, as that package already contains `gcc`, which can also be [installed selectively with pacman](https://archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/gcc/), and doesnt need to be built.
