I am also using ubuntu and I have several versions of gcc and clang installed. Lately, I have been using spack to install everything for me (https://github.com/LLNL/spack). This is becoming the standard way to install new programs on clusters at the DOE labs. Last time I installed gcc myself was about a year ago and I just followed the instruction here https://gcc.gnu.org/install/configure.html If your admin wants to shoot me an email with the errors he is getting, I will be happy to help.
