Hi valery, I think the problem is that you have older Slackware version 
installed, then the D series you have tried to installed. The problem is
that the old kernel don't understand the new ELF executables format so it 
doesn't "see" any executable file named 'gcc' even though you have such a 
file in /usr/bin/.
Try installing a matching D series or install a newer slackware version.
