I have 4.5.2 installed from the Ubuntu official repositories. I would like to install 4.6 as well to try out the C++0x features it brings.

How can I do this without breaking my system? I'm fine with the newer being default, but also want to keep the older version.

If you know your way around the command line, you should be able to compile from source and set the configuration to install in /opt.

Something along the lines of ./configure --prefix=/opt.
