Is there an rpm to install gcc?  What other things would I need in able to be able to compile some .c files?

Take a look at http://www.redhat.com/corp/support/docs/Compile-Tips/Compile-Tips.html and then grab the necessary files from Red Hat.

The e-smith server is deliberately designed to be cut down as
much as possible for it to run as just a server. E-smith recommends that you use another Linux system as a development system.

However if you want to log in and compile on the server, you can use RPMs from any RedHat 6.0 or compatible system. You will need
gcc, development header files and libraries, probably make and possibly various other development tools.
