Hi, It appears some of the latest hackages are moving towards 6.8 to take advantage of the new features, while quite a few remains at 6.6. The compatibility between the two versions has been problematic. I only have 6.6 installed, but now thinking to add 6.8 to my account (so I can switch between them, depending what works where). What is the best practice to make 6.8 co-exist with 6.6 ? Specific questions are: 1) I installed 6.6 under prefix=$HOME/ghc. If I install 6.8 to the same prefix, it will overwrite 6.6. Correct? How do I get around it? 2) I installed additional tools and packages under $HOME/htools using 6.6. (Which I begin to wonder if that is necessary.) Do I have to use a different directory for 6.8? I noticed that, for each package, the path is $HOME/htools/lib/<package-ver>/ghc-6.6.1/ etc etc. It seems that 6.8 will create subdirectories, so they can co-exist peacefully. Correct? Thanks, Steve
