Setting path for GCC?

Dear all, I have downloaded the latest version of gcc --- gcc-3.3.1.tar.gz from gnu.org. My Linux distribution is Mandrake 9.0. This was how I installed it:

su -
passwrd:

mkdir /usr/local/src
cd /usr/local/src

gunzip /tmp/gcc-3.3.1.tar.gz #where I downloaded the file
tar xvf /tmp/gcc-3.3.1.tar

cd /opt/build
/usr/local/src/gcc-3.3.1/configure
--prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib --with-slibdir=/lib --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --disable-checking --enable-long-long --enable-__cxa_atexit --enable-languages=c,c++,ada,f77,objc,java --host=i586-mandrake-linux-gnu --with-system-zlib

make
make install

After I have done all these, I used "which, whereis, -v, and --version" to check the version of GCC.

Quote:

$ which gcc
/usr/bin/gcc

$ whereis gcc
gcc: /usr/bin/gcc3.2-version /usr/bin/gcc /usr/local/bin/gcc /usr/share/man/man1/gcc.1.bz2 /usr/share/man/man1/gcc.1

$ gcc -v

Configured with: /usr/local/src/gcc-3.3.1/configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib --with-slibdir=/lib --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --disable-checking --enable-long-long --enable-__cxa_atexit --enable-languages=c,c++,ada,f77,objc,java --host=i586-mandrake-linux-gnu --with-system-zlib

I can see the system holds two versions of gcc, and if I didn't guess it wrong, the system is still using the old gcc-3.2 as the default.

I have two questions here:
First, how could I set system to use gcc-3.3.1? Someone told me because gcc-3.2 was installed in /usr/bin and gcc-3.3.1 was in /usr/local/bin so I have to change the order in $PATH. I didn't understand that clear, so I went to ~/.bashrc and changed it. But after I rebooted the system, I saw the system was still using gcc-3.2. As a newbie, I hope someone could walk me through it step-by-step or even a little tip will be appreciated.
My second question is about removing the older version of gcc. I don't think I need two versions of gcc in my system since they require space. I want to remove the older version. My Mandrake 9.0 uses rpm to install gcc-3.2 in the system, so I tried to use "rpm -e gcc" to delete the old version. I failed because of the software dependency. Is there any way to remove it and not hurting my other programs have installed in my computer?

Thanx in advanced.

atscc(1)						      General Commands Manual							  atscc(1)

NAME

       atscc - ATS compiler frontend

SYNOPSIS

       atscc [options] files...

DESCRIPTION

       atscc is a frontend to the atsopt Anairiats compiler for the ATS language.

OPTIONS

       atscc  has a command-line option syntax in the style of gcc and accepts all the same options, many of them being passed directly to the gcc
       backend.  Here are summarized the non-gcc options.

       -cc, --compile
	      Only compile the given ATS source files into C files.

       -D_ATS_GCATS
	      Enable the garbage collector in the generated executable.

       -IATS <path>
	      Add a path to search for ATS files when doing static and dynamic loads.

       -tc, --typecheck
	      Typecheck the given ATS source files, but go no further.

       --version
	      Show ATS/Anairiats version and gcc version.

EXAMPLES

       atscc -o test -O3 test.dats

       Compile test.dats to an executable named test.  Tell gcc to use the third level of optimization.

       atscc -tc test.dats

       Typecheck test.dats only.

       atscc -o test.o -c test.dats

       Compile test.dats to an object file named test.o.
