Is it possible to have 2 independant compilations of SEQ on the same system?

for example

1 linux host

1 compilation of beta5 for prod server
1 compilation of beta5 for OoW beta

If so, can someone post the runes?

Thanks

Never tried this before, but this is what I'd try to see if it worked:
1) Have two source directories, one for beta one for normal
2) Use configure --prefix=/usr/local/showeq-beta for the beta one
3) compile and make install them both
4) setuid root the binaries (one will be /usr/local/bin/showeq, the other will be /usr/local/showeq-beta/bin/showeq)
5) Run each under different accounts so their ~/.showeq directories are different
6) Use Network->Monitor Client IP Address if you need two running at the same time

No idea if that works, but I'd try it and see where it gets you. Worse that can happen is it doesn't work *shrug*.
