It's probably best also to get G++ in which case this command should do it if you want version 5 of GCC: sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-5 100 --slave /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-5

No, the daemon is a service that allows you to interact with the guix package store (/gnu/store). It is responsible for building packages on behalf of users and for downloading pre-built binaries from authorized sources. I don't believe guix notifies you of updates plus I don't see a need

In which order did you attempt to make the series of `ln` commands? It seems you made it in inverse order. Also, if I'm not mistaken, Trisquel 7 doesn't use systemd entirely. It does have Upstart instead (this is what I chose in the step that you are right now).

Perhaps consider installing the Guix package manager. With it you can currently install any (or all) of gcc 4.7.4, 4.8.5, 4.9.4, 5.4.0, 6.3.0 (see link below) so it would be possible to use the gcc specifically required by your program. The Guix packages are based on a rolling release model
