Since you are a newbie I don't recommend you to install latest GCC
version. If something breaks later, you'll be *ucked. I would install
all STABLE versions. But if you want to install a certain version of an
app, your syntax may be:
emerge =category/what-ever-package-1.5.6
You can use your own tar.gz and your own tar.bz2 but that needs a
portage overlay (and you should create your own ebuilds) and that should
need an "ebuild
/usr/local/portage/category/whatever/whatever-0.5.3.ebuild digest". If
you're a newbie I don't recommend a portage overlay right now neither.
You should get convinced with portage, and when you understand it pretty
well... go with your overlay.
Bye,
Rafael Fernández López.
