GHC 6.13 and GHC 7.6 in parallel on Linux
Hello to everyone, First of all sorry if my question posted to this list is maybe OFF TOPIC. Myself is using Haskell from time to time on WIN XP and OpenSuse system. So far without a problem using RWH book as reference and 6.12 version with a lot of modules installed via cabal. Also a Hugs install from source on my OpenSuse system only caused minor problems.setting a symlink solved the minor problem. But what surprised me totally was that Hugs/Cabal and (or ) GHC are using shared libraries and Hugs install interfered with cabal/ghc. I thought that both systems are totally independent from each other.Hugs a Haskell code interpreter GHV a Haskell code compiler. But now my question : How is it possible to run 2 different versions of GHC on the same computer ( OS , in my case OpenSuse 6.1x and hopefully 7.6 ) Any search for "running GHC versions in parallel only returned results for the DPH extensions wiki but not how to run two GHC versions on the same OS. http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/GHC/Data_Parallel_Haskell http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Parallel So any feedback welcome Rgds Gottfried

Just use hsenv [1] (formerly known as virthualenv). [1] https://github.com/Paczesiowa/hsenv Cheers, -- Felipe.

It's possible to install two versions of GHC ( see the installation http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/6.10.1/html/users_guide/installing-bin-distr...). The configure script takes a number of flags. The most commonly used is the --prefix=*/path/to/install/in* flag, which tells the bundle that you want it to be installed in */path/to/install/in* rather than the default location (/usr/local). To see all the flags that configure accepts, run configure --help.
Any search for "running GHC versions in parallel only returned results for the DPH extensions wiki but not how to run two GHC versions on the same OS.

I thought you are asking for how to install two versions of GHC on same system. Sorry for irrelevant answer. Mukesh Tiwari On Thu, Sep 27, 2012 at 10:05 PM, mukesh tiwari < mukeshtiwari.iiitm@gmail.com> wrote:

How is it possible to run 2 different versions of GHC
if you installed the binary packages in standard locations, look in /usr/local/bin/ghc* : you have ghc-6.12.3, ghc-7.6.1 etc. and each one knows how to find their libraries. you can even say "cabal install --with-ghc=ghc-7.6.1 foo"
