I have GNU Radio installed via source on my computer, but I'd like to try
the Pybombs method to see if it works. Before I do, I want to make sure I
won't screw up my current install, whether its through conflicts or
confusion over multiple installs or something else. Here a few questions I
have:

1) If there are two installs, is it a matter of whichever one had a "sudo
make install" run last as to which version is actually being used?
2) Are there any gotchas I should know about when two different GNU Radios
are installed on one machine?
