 ====== GCC ======
+===== GCC Versions that are already installed on CS infrastructure =====
+Usually, we install multiple versions. The default version of GCC probably won't be changed system wide... ever.
+We are now taking more advantage of environment modules. This means depending on when you read this you could load the version of GCC you want to use.
+<code>
+$ module --terse avail |grep gcc
+/etc/environment-modules/modules:
+gcc/4.9.4
+gcc/5.5.0
+gcc/6.5.0
+gcc/7.5.0
+gcc/8.4.0
+gcc/9.3.0
+gcc/10.2.0
+</code>
+<code>
+$ module load gcc/4.9.4
+</code>
+<code>
+$ echo "$PATH | $INCLUDE | $LD_LIBRARY_PATH | $MANPATH"
+/usr/local/gcc/4.9.4/bin:/home/kauffman3/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games:/opt/puppetlabs/bin
+| /usr/local/gcc/4.9.4/include | /usr/local/gcc/4.9.4/lib |
+/usr/local/gcc/4.9.4/man:/usr/share/man

-Strap in cause this will take a while. You will want to prepare a sandwich and a drink once we start compiling.

 ===== Requirements =====
   - About 6.5G of scratch space.

 You will want to use /var/tmp, /tmp, or /local as the place to checkout and build GCC.
