how can I fix this issue
Hope you have updated package manager, in doubt you can run following commands (in the same order given, which should run without errors):
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
Then you need to ensure build-essential
installed:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
After that you can install required version of gcc (example: gcc-4):
sudo apt-get install gcc-4
Now the part of selecting specific version of gcc:
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-4 4
sudo update-alternatives --config gcc
By this way you can switch between multiple versions of gcc too. The second command in the last step will give you a menu like option to select among available(installed) gcc versions to be set.
