If the files (binaries, libraries, headers, etc.) for each version are installed in different places and the postmasters are configured to listen on different ports, then they should be able to coexist. However, as you've discovered, a problem is that you might accidentally use files for one version when you wanted the other. One way of handling that is described in Issue #105 of the General Bits newsletter under "Organizing Your Environment for Multiple Databases and Installations": http://www.varlena.com/varlena/GeneralBits/105.php -- Michael Fuhr http://www.fuhr.org/~mfuhr/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
