This is very OS and personal preferences dependent. Under debian / ubuntu, multiple versions are natively supported and automagically go in different directories. With RPM based OSes you either get to rebuild rpms from your own specs to use different directories, or install from source. There might be other ways of doing it, but there's no "standard way" of installing multiple versions on RH etc. that I know of. -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
