Built GCC 3.0! now installing it, ok! but i don't see it....

[Marco]

 hi all,
 
 it's the first time i recompile a copiler.
 i already have gcc 2.96-81 on a Linux RH7.1
 
 i read the installation info, so :
 i CONFIGUREd in a new DIR to keep source and build code separated.
 then i MAKE BOOTSTRAP. ok...only some normal (i hope) warnings...but no
 errors.
 then i try MAKE INSTALL. it works without any error.
 
 but now when i launch gcc -v i get the old version in response [2.96-81].
 is it only a ~~~/specs problem or an installation error? how to check the
 right version.
 [when i look at the gcc file date i get today one!]
 
 thanx
 Marco

Check your PATH.  The newly-installed GCC will be in /usr/local/bin,
unless you specified a different --prefix.

Yes. i have it in /usr/local/bin. if i start it with full path it works!!!
now, may i uninstall the old one? (in /usr/bin)
or is there any problem?

Then you have to modify the PATH variable in your environment to get
/usr/local/bin/gcc found before /usr/bin/gcc

It's not always a good idea.
