Title: gcc compiler versions
Post by: Charly2001 on April 04, 2015, 06:55:52 pm

I have noticed that my Linux system has more than one version of the Gnu gcc compiler.   Folder /usr/lib/gcc/i686-linux-gnu/    holds versions 4.7, 4.8 and 4.9

When launched manually the shell goes to 4.8.2
Codeblocks also uses 4.8.2  and says so

Should the older versions be removed ?

Regards

If you don't use them you can probably remove them.
It is up to you.
Different distros have different ways to manage alternative/multiversioned packages.
