Well I'm British English :-)

Could you give exact details about this. The script itself doesn't rely
on GCC, but the FSL setup script (which it calls once complete) does
rely on GCC to configure an environment variable which is only necessary
if building FSL from source. We thought we were handling the absence of
GCC cleanly, so would be very interested to see what output you're getting.

Indeed, I shall fix this soon, thanks for letting us know.

Again, what error message are you getting.
I made a few changes to the script earlier this week, so things may have
improved already.
