Compilers called from the system command line do not display graphical splash screens advertising their version number. It is therefore not always obvious which version of a given C or Fortran compiler is installed.
Below are a number of examples that can be used to determine the compiler version on a specific machine. Each platform section lists version info commands for several common compilers. The fully indented sections are example output from the system command prompt.
You can find a list of compilers supported for use with MATLAB here:
Currently supported platforms:
Linux
gcc -v
gcc version 3.2.3
g95 -v
