How to set default gcc version

[cyb3rstorm]

listing by synaptic the gcc pkgz, I've noticed that there are more than one version installed, and doing a "gcc -v" I've seen that the default used by my system is 3. 3.5. Since I've installed the 4.0 version and I want to use it for default, what I have to do?

not sure if it's right way, as maybe it could be done through dpkg-reconfigure but I did this:
log as a root and than:

Code: Select all

rm /usr/bin/gcc
ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-4.0 /usr/bin/gcc
