My RHEL6.1 has pre installed gcc (GCC) 4.4.5 20110214 (Red Hat

uninstall this version

"yum erase gcc" but I would advise against doing that.

and install a more recent version of GCC.

It's a bad idea to replace the system compiler, just install a newer
version in a different path.

Specially if you attempt to remove it before having the new one ready,

as you won't be able to install from source (thus compilÂng) the newversion

without a working compiler.
