Output below with the version and the command I ran Basically I had the standard gcc installed and I added PPA for gcc 4.8 and did apt-get install. This likely left the supported official gcc there. I am a little "fresh" when it comes to dealing with this stuff, is it as simple as apt-get remove gcc?
