I have set following paths in .bashrc to correspond to the latest
installation of gcc
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/gcc-4.9.1/bin
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/gcc-4.9.1/lib:/opt/gcc-4.9.1/lib64
but still on run time the previous binaries/libraries are being found
[rcm@rcm ~]$ which gcc
/usr/bin/gcc
How to handle this?
