Hi all,
I've installed into /mit/gcc-6plus the most recent version
of GCC, the GNU Compiler Collection, which includes the the
GNU C, C++, Go, Objective C, Objective C++, Fortran, Ada,
and Java compilers and libraries.
See the README file for more information, excepted below.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Libraries have been installed in:
/mit/gcc-6plus/lib (which is a symlink to the most recent version)
If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
- add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
during execution
- add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
during linking
- use the `-Wl,-rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag
- have your system administrator add LIBDIR to `/etc/ld.so.conf'
See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Also see share/build.log.xz for locations of other libraries.
Search for "Libraries have been installed in".
The current plan is to keep only two recent versions of the compiler
in the locker. This may cause issues if you link against a library
which subsequently disappears. Please contact the maintainer if this
is an issue for you.
The locker is named "gcc-6plus" because the first version installed in
it was 6.2.0, but it is planned to continue to "higher" (hence "plus")
versions in the future, e.g., 7.0 and beyond.
This locker is maintained by kenta@mit.edu as part of SIPB, a
volunteer student computer organization.
