When I enter

brew install gcc49

I see:

Warning: gcc49-4.9.0 already installed

and when I check my gcc version with gcc -v

Configured with: --prefix=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.2.1 Apple LLVM version 5.1 (clang-503.0.38) (based on LLVM 3.4svn) Target: x86_64-apple-darwin12.5.0 Thread model: posix

Is there something else I have to do besides install gcc49 via homebrew to be able to use it?

Invoke it using the full path? – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Apr 24 '14 at 04:06
@IgnacioVazquez-Abrams Would you mind giving an example of how I could do that? – PuffySparrow Apr 24 '14 at 04:44
Type `gcc` where `` is the tab key. Key hitting the tab key and see if different things pop out. – jxh Apr 24 '14 at 04:46
@jxh I see gcc and gccmakedep – PuffySparrow Apr 24 '14 at 04:47

You could try `which gcc` to see what executable is used w/o absolute path. Probably that's something you dont expect. – harper Apr 24 '14 at 05:40
