cc is the conventional name for the system's C compiler. C is the
programming language GNUPG is written in. A compiler is a program that
translates from a high-level programming language (a human can
understand, often processor-independant) to native processor code
(your Pentium / Athlon / Duron / whatever can understand).

gcc is the GNU C Compiler, the standard C compiler in Linux, and
widely used across many Unices.

It _is_ on your GNU/Linux installation media (probably a CD-ROM). Use
the installation program to install a package (RPM in your case) whose
name is "gcc" or similar.

Note: Redhat 7.1 probably has a package for GnuPG, too, so you don't
need to compile it yourself, just install the package whose name is
"gpg" or "gnupg" or similar (If you _want_ to compile GnuPG by
yourself, you are welcome to, just informing you there is an easier
way).
