Upgrading GCC on CentOS

Question

I need to upgrade GCC. When I type yum install GCC it tells me Package gcc-4.1.2-51.el5.x86_64 already installed and latest version. Unfortunately I'm trying to install some software which requires GCC 4.3 minimum.

I checked out the possibility of installing GCC from source, but it looks very complicated!

How can I upgrade GCC to at least version 4.3 on CentOS?

CentOS 5.x has the "gcc44" package containing GCC version 4.4.

You could try Remi's repository. It usually has more up to date packages than the normal CentOS repository.
