What would be the easiest way to install gcc 4.7 on a system with CentOS 6.2 ? The refault rpm package contains an older version of gcc.

From what I can see from the gnu gcc, latest stable version is 4.62. The version 4.7 can be downloaded and compiled, more info on the gcc installation.

I asked about 4.7 because it is supposed to have some C++11 features that I need (porting from Clang). – TomA Jan 22 at 19:01
So apart from compiling from source there is no, say, website that would have some rpms I could use? – TomA Jan 22 at 19:02
Not that I'm aware of, but I'm not very knowledgeable on the topic. RPM repository typicly include the RPM only in it's stable form. – bbaja42 Jan 22 at 20:28

One way of achieving this would be to fetch src RPMs from the fedora repositories and recompile them for your target system.
Fedora 17 and later provide gcc 4.7
