What will I need to do to get both 6.8.3 and 6.10.1?
Are you sure it does deinstall the 6.8 compiler?
It definitely deinstalls it for me; I've just confirmed it. Here's what I saw with a 6.9 OS X installer a while ago: If I start off with 6.8.3 installed: $ ls -l /Library/Frameworks/GHC.framework/Versions/ total 8 drwxrwxr-x 4 root admin 136 Jun 18 03:10 608 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 3 Aug 29 12:57 Current -> 608 then while my GHC-6.9.20080828-i386.pkg is installing I see: $ ls -l /Library/Frameworks/GHC.framework/Versions/ total 8 drwxrwxr-x 4 root admin 136 Aug 29 12:58 609 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 3 Aug 29 12:57 Current -> 608 (i.e. 608 has disappeared, but it isn't the whole GHC.framework that's been removed because the Current link is still there) and then when the installer has finished: $ ls -l /Library/Frameworks/GHC.framework/Versions/ total 8 drwxrwxr-x 4 root admin 136 Aug 29 12:58 609 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 3 Aug 29 12:57 Current -> 608 Thanks IAn
