What's the canonical way to install a version of ghc but not have it be the default? i.e., I'd like to try testing this release candidate but I want to have to call it explicitly; I want 'ghc', 'ghc-pkg' etc. to still be aliases to ghc-6.10.4, instead of being overwritten by the 6.12.1 install.
AFAIK think the answer is: compile from source and use --prefix option to ./configure. Cheers Ben
