I normally do this: ./configure --prefix="/usr/local/squid-VERSION" make make install cd /usr/local rm squid (its a symlink!) ln -s squid-VERSION squid cp /path/to/normal/squid.conf /usr/local/squid-VERSION/etc/squid.conf That way I can have multiple squids installed to try but have my init script only start /usr/local/squid/sbin/squid .
