Installing this version of the compiler does not remove or change previous versions of the compiler, only the C++ runtime library and the SMP runtime library are migrated to the new versions. This was achieved by differentiating the installation fileset names from those of the previous versions, including the version, release and modification level (V.R.M) in the name, and installing to new locations that include V.R.M in the installation paths.
The default directory installation has changed, it is now : /opt/IBM/xlC/13.1.0/
