It is possible to switch to other versions of the gcc compiler suite using modules. After connecting to iceberg (see Establishing a SSH connection), start an interactive sesssion with the qrsh or qsh command. Choose the version of the compiler you wish to use using one of the following commands

module load compilers/gcc/6.2
module load compilers/gcc/5.4
module load compilers/gcc/5.3
module load compilers/gcc/5.2
module load compilers/gcc/4.9.2
module load compilers/gcc/4.8.2
module load compilers/gcc/4.5.3

Alternatively load the most recent available version using

module load compilers/gcc

Confirm that you’ve loaded the version of gcc you wanted using gcc -v.

Language support

Documentation

man pages are available on the system. Once you have loaded the required version of gcc, type

man gcc
