'yum upgrade' did the trick. 554 MB and 318 packages later and I have gcc 4.1.2.

Thanks,

like to upgrade the entire gcc tool chain, including libraries, to 4.x in order to build some software that requires 4.1.0 or better. Can I do this easily through yum? If I upgrade to 5.3 will I get gcc 4.x by default?

Thanks,

Yes, I guess: on my pc I get

rpm -q centos-release centos-release-5-3.el5.centos.1.i386

rpm -q gcc gcc-4.1.2-44.el5.i386

I got the CentOS version from /etc/redhat-release and the gcc version from 'gcc -v'. This was probably done deliberately by one of my colleagues who did the original install.

I find that hard to believe, considering that CentOS 5 (5.0!) shipped with version 4.1.1-52.el5 of gcc.

Would you care to double check your facts? Check the contents of /etc/redhat-release, rpm -q centos-release, rpm -q gcc, etc.
