Brew: [email protected]: Fails to install

[rojinsafavi]

I have tried installing GCC48 using following command:
brew install gcc48

I get the following error:

Also, Is it possible to uninstall the current gcc ? right now linuxbrew contains gcc 5, but I would like to change it to a lower version. I was not sure how to do that.

Thanks!

Currently only your host GCC compiler and gcc-5 are supported on Linuxbrew. We hope to add support for the GCC 4.x and GCC 6 in the future.

gcc 4.8 is pretty old. imho it would be better to leave it behind and focus on newer versions. gcc 7 is just around the corner.

@rojinsafavi You may wish to try installing gcc-4.8 using your host's compiler (/usr/bin/gcc). If for example that's GCC 4.4, try…

brew install --cc=gcc-4.4 [email protected]

If that fails, try

brew install --cc=gcc-4.4 --env=std [email protected]
