subscription-manager repos --list to see which repos are available to your system. Then yum repolist to see which repositories are active on your system.

If redhat repositories are active try: yum provides "/usr/bin/gcc*"

No it searches if it kind find a package in the repositories matching that name in that path.
Here's an example:
Code:
$ yum provides "/usr/bin/gcc*"

ok, if it does not, what is the next? i am doing this in a production server. i dont have access right now, i am connecting with the client today to test this, so i need all the neccesaary information to get it installed. i actually want to install ossec-agent , and it is dependent on gcc.

What do the following commands show
Code:
yum repolist
subscription-manager repos --list

What is ossec-agent never heard of it?
 
its a tool used in cyber security for monitoring activities in windows and linux systems
 
the command subscription-manager -list shows status " unsubscribed", after that i subscribed it running the command subscription-manager register , i inserted the username and password that i signed up in linux site, it worked on one of the linux systems, dont know why its not on the production red hat linux machine

That's the problem since the system isn't actively subscribed to an active subscription. So you registered the system to the subscription now? Is it subscribed now when you do:
Code:
subscription-manager status
 
still not. despite i did, it worked for one.

I am on a project, this is what is pending to close the project. i have tried every trick to install gcc. not working. it tells me registered when i run the command. i gues may be because the red hat is of old version 5.7

Didn't see you mention the version number in your first post(I must have overlooked that). That is the problem, you are running an EOL version of RHEL. You need to switch to a currently supported version of RHEL such as 7 or 8.

Also check the redhat website. Unless you bought Extended Life Cycle Support you are out of luck. I would contact Red Hat support if I were you since you are paying for a subscription.

Thanks a lot. I suspected that was the issue. What is the name? , i would like to be a friend on linkedin.
Please send me your linkedin profile name
 
so the Extended life cycle support will end Nov 30 2020? so if the client have such support, they can get Red Hat to fix the issue?

No they probably don't have ELS for RHEL5 because I would think that if they did you would have had no problems registering the system. If your client decides to buy ELS support for RHEL5 they have until end of November 2020 to migrate to supported version of RHEL anyways. So it would be smarter to do that now since you are going to have to do that anyways in about 4 months.
