Hi,

I'm currently running aMule 2.0.3 since 6 months ago and has been very happy with the result but updates has seem to be moving slow but understand that time isn't always what we can have.

Anyway, because of this i thought i should also install the CVS version but i want to keep the old  stable amule as well in case i encounter many problems with it.

How do i go about installing the CVS version in another folder and still have my old amule there so i can switch between the two on the same OS?

I suppose this maybe easy to do but i'm still leraning how to install programs into my own custom path. I fear i might break and links to libraries it needs. So i good guide or pointer will be helpful from any experience linux user. I'm running Fedora Core 3, if that helps.

thank you,

Linuxcore

if you use the --prefix flag on configure, you'll do exactly that.

I.e, create a amule-cvs folder on your home, then do

./configure --prefix=/home//amule-cvs

When you do make and make install, it will install aMule on that folder. Of course, you can and must add any other flags you want. Enjoy.
