After adding the package, all you should have to do is to add an
environment variable called CC that points to gcc...

csh
setenv CC gcc
or
setenv CC /usr/local/bin/gcc

sh
CC=gcc; export CC
or
CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc; export CC

One of the above should do it.  I generally do

setenv CC gcc

with /usr/local/bin in my path (I got the gcc package from 
sunfreeware.com...)
