Can't find the right GCC

Question

GCC was reinstalled on my mac through brew, but when I did which gcc, it returned /usr/bin/gcc, instead of /usr/local/bin/gcc.

I restarted my computer, but it did not help. echo $PATH returns:

/Users/myname/anaconda/bin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/opt/X11/bin:/Library/TeX/texbin

Do you have a `gcc` binary in the directory `/usr/local/bin/gcc`? — snoopy, Jun 13 '17 at 05:44
@MarkFarrugia @snoopy Yes, it's `/usr/local/bin/gcc@ -> /usr/local/Cellar/gcc/6.3.0_1/bin/gcc-6` — user6948979, Jun 13 '17 at 05:51
Have you tried creating a symbolic link? Use a command similar to the following: `ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/gcc/6.3.0_1/bin/gcc-6 gcc` — Pyves, Jun 13 '17 at 11:00
[sorry, I was not able to connect to internet until now]. The reason is `brew install gcc` does not create `gcc` binary, but `gcc-7` — user6948979, Jun 18 '17 at 02:46
