GCC 4.8.1 is a very old version of the compiler. How did you install it? On what operating system? The current stable version is GCC 14 and GCC 15 is coming out soon. Very probably you can uninstall the old version, There is no reason to uninstall the old version, especially given the reference to "my organization's protocols". We can't give a definitive answer since we have no idea what those protocols are. and certainly you can have several versions of GCC co-existing. GCC is usually packaged in most Linux distributions and for those packaged versions you should use the distribution commands (eg apt or aptitude on Debian or Linux Mint) Yes but if it's a very old system then the version packaged by the distribution might be very old too. The answer might be to install a self-built GCC as described at https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/InstallingGCC or talk to your system administrators about installing a more recent version.
