Certainly: give them separate install directories, data directories,
and port numbers, and away you go.
You might have to install one or the other from source rather than use
RPMs, if your RPMs want to install both versions in the same place.

so the easyets way is to create 2 users with different env ?

If you need to do some things with the old client, and then need to
compare what will happen in the new client, you can write a shell
script which will set the environment up correctly for you, and then
call the desired client program.

Yes, it's possible, but only one system can listen on the dafault port on rely on the default incuded library path. The other installation must run run on a different post an with the LD_LIBRARAY_PATH set to the dynamic library path -tb -- Thomas Beutin tb@laokoon.IN-Berlin.DE Beam me up, Scotty.

Sure, just have different install directories and ports they run on.
