GCC 4.8.1 is a very old version of the compiler. How did you install it? On what
operating system? 

The current stable version is GCC 14 and GCC 15 is coming out soon.

Very probably you can uninstall the old version, and certainly you can have
several versions of GCC co-existing.

GCC is usually packaged in most Linux distributions and for those packaged
versions you should use the distribution commands (eg apt or aptitude on Debian
or Linux Mint)
