Problem installing GHC 6.10.2 on Debian Etch

[Daniel van den Eijkel]

Thanks for the answer.
I upgraded from Debian Etch to Lenny, and this upgraded ghc to version 
6.8.2. Then I tried again to install ghc-6.10.2 and it worked without 
problems.

But now I have 2 versions, and by default ghc-6.8 is called. Is there a 
simple way to make ghc-6.10 the default ghc? Do I have to change the 
symlinks by hand?

Thanks,
Daniel
