Where is the gcc executable under Linux?

I installed gcc 4.7.0 as a new version, but the result of gcc --version did not change. I learned that I should set a link in /usr/bin/ to the gcc executable. However, under the index of 4.7.0 I installed there are 6 indexes:
bin include lib lib64 libexec share
I am not sure where I can find the gcc executable. Where should the gcc executable be commonly?
Thank you!

Have a try using thefindutility, read about how to use it using the manual page:man find. On unixoid systems executables are traditionally found in thebinfolder.

How did you install it? (What you call "indexes" seem to be directories.)

I installed it from gcc-4.7.0.tar.gz by running configure and make.

Have a try using thefindutility, read about how to use it using the manual page:man find. On unixoid systems executables are traditionally found in thebinfolder.

It should be under the /usr/bin directory. If it is not, try to find with:
$ which gcc
