Have you noticed that this is not a RPM but a .tar.gz file ?
I suppose so
In that case have you untarred it below the root / of your system ?
(it will install then in /usr/local)
In principle I see all binaries and all files needed to run gpc.
One problem may be that this compiler uses the system libc, which 
depends on the linux version of the system you use.
This is why everybody here compiles the compiler: it uses autotools to 
look at what is contained in the libc installed in your particular 
system ans adapt gpc accordingly.

everybody here compiles for linux the latest snapshot (which is much 
better than the old 2.1 version, but you seem to have very peculiar needs)
