I'm trying to update to gcc 4.8.2. I have Ubuntu 12.04.
after this if I type gcc -v it says gcc version 4.6.3 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5)
Next I typed
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gcc-4.8
Then I try to check the gcc version by typing gcc -v
it says that my version didn't change and I still have gcc version 4.6.3 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5)
After typing gcc-4.8 -v
I get 4.8 as the following:
gcc version 4.8.1 (Ubuntu 4.8.1-2ubuntu1~12.04)
Now my question turns into why isn't it finding gcc 4.8.2? How can I set it to use gcc 4.8 as the default when I use gcc -v
?
if I try 4.8.2 it cannot find it/ error occurs
, please post that error.apt-cache policy gcc
on your question.gcc-4.8 -v
, you need to be explicit
