最近在学习大模型部署，需要安装flash-attn，在编译时报错
c++: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-std=c++17’
centos7.9默认gcc最高版本为4.8.5
(base) [root@xx ~]# cat /proc/version
Linux version 3.10.0-1160.el7.x86_64 (mockbuild@kbuilder.bsys.centos.org) (gcc version 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-44) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Mon Oct 19 16:18:59 UTC 2020
以上报错需要高版本的gcc支持，所以需要升级GCC的版本，对应关系参考
GCC版本对C++的支持情况
这里选择9.0版本进行升级。
网上搜索教程，多是 基于centos yun 安装替换方式，比较复杂，该文章基于conda虚拟环境来进行升级，操作简单，对原系统侵入少。
激活conda环境
conda是python的解释器环境，可以隔离不同的python解释环境，可以自动拉取环境所需的包，屏蔽了虚拟机底层的差异，避免了频繁的更换安装python解释器
所以我们选择在conda环境升级gcc、g++版本，来支撑这个环境下的编译工作。
#激活环境
conda activate ktransformers
#查看gcc可安装的版本
conda search gcc
# 查看g++可安装版本
conda search gxx
可以看到版本很多，这里选择gcc-linux-64=9.3.0，gxx-linux-64=9.3.0版本
安装gcc 、g++
# 安装gcc
conda install gcc_linux-64=9.3.0
# 安装gxx
conda install gxx_linux-64=9.3.0
会被安装到这个路径（你自己conda虚拟环境的目录，这里是ktransformers）
environment location: /home/xxx//envs/ktransformers
# 查看安装版本（conda下安装的gcc不叫gcc了，叫x86_64-conda-linux-gnu-cc）
x86_64-conda-linux-gnu-cc -v
# 查看gxx安装版本
x86_64-conda-linux-gnu-c++ -v

gcc version 9.3.0 (crosstool-NG 1.24.0.133_b0863d8_dirty)
可以看到已安装成功。
但是这名字系统是无法识别的，所以需要建立软连接，进行改名
# 进入ktransformers虚拟环境目录下 /home/xxx//envs/ktransformers/bin
ln -s ./x86_64-conda-linux-gnu-cc ./gcc
ln -s ./x86_64-conda-linux-gnu-c++ ./g++
再次测试版本,在/home/xxx//envs/ktransformers/bin目录下
./gcc -v
./g++ -v
发现已变成9.3.0
但是仅仅在目录下才能生效，在其他地方读的还是旧的版本，需要配置该新版本的环境变量，路径即指向，conda虚拟环境中安装的这个版本
# conda 环境的gcc 9.3.0 g++ 9.3.0
export PATH=/home/xxx//envs/ktransformers/bin/:$PATH
# 生效
source /etc/profile
再次查看版本，发现成功变成了9.3.0.这就是conda的神奇方便之处。
如果后续需要把gcc版本改回去，就直接去掉环境变量配置即可。
若想更换其他版本的gcc，按以上步骤操作即可。
