upgrading to latest GCC compiler on Oracle Linux? Supported?

801904Apr 10 2013 — edited Apr 10 2013

hello everyone

I have installed Oracle Linux 6.4 which includes GCC compiler 4.4.7

I would like to either (a) upgrade it to latest or (b) install newest version side by side of the latest GNU C compiler, which is at present 4.8.0.

I am only interested in the latest GNU C compiler and its related libraries (I am not trying to install/upgrade C++, Fortran, Java, etc.).

I have two questions:
(1) Is this supported to do this on Oracle Linux 6.4 or does Oracle Linux 6.4 specifically require GCC 4.4.7 ? If not supported then can I install newest GNU C side by side with older version?
(2) If supported to upgrade or install side by side, what is the easiest way for me to install or upgrade to latest GCC 4.8.0 ?

many thanks in advance
