+1 Personnally when I installed several version of CMake I do install them with a particular prefix and then I use update-alternatives(1) to install proper symlinks to the specific location. I switch from one version to another using update-alternatives(1). This can certainly be used on Fedora/EPEL as well: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Alternatives -- Eric
