Gcc-5.2 is in /opt/netapps/gnu/gcc/5.2. In order for you to use it, this may have to be appended to your .profile:

GCCSNIPPET=/opt/netapps/gnu/gcc/5.2/sourceme
[ -r ${GCCSNIPPET} ] && . ${GCCSNIPPET}

Please note: /opt is *NOT* in ld.so.conf, and should not be

After sourcing the sourceme, you can call the newer g++ as

${CXX}

This is what Make commonly does, so projects using Makefiles will automatically use the newer compiler.

Later versions

You may find that still later versions are available. Check /opt/netapps/gnu/gcc, and alter the above script by adjusting the line

GCCBASE="/opt/netapps/gnu/gcc/5.2"
