Remove or rename the version that is in your path. To find out where it is:
whereis gcc

Then create a link eg:
ln -s /path/to/new/gcc /usr/bin/gcc

Your old gcc is before the new one in PATH. For short time, something like
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
should work. Better idea is to modify the symlinks there are for older gcc (and point them to the new one) or uninstall older gcc (new one should work then).

Many thanks
