HI Bruno,

Thanks for the reminder and helps. Indeed, our system administrator has trouble with installing the newer version of GNU C compiler. Would you provide detailed instructions on how to installing the GNU C compiler? Thanks!

The system administrator told me that he was trying to install the newer version of GNU C compiler alone, but failed. He told me that people usually reinstall the newer version of linux UBUNTU system with the newer version of GNU C compiler instead of installing the newer version of GNU C compiler alone. However, because we have other important softwares installed/used in our system, I don't know when he is going to update the entire linux system. So, I guess that the only way to get the newer version of GNU C compiler is feasible right now. But we don't know how to get it working.

FWIW, there's a PPA where you can get the newer gcc that can co-exist with the default ones.

See if it works for you.
