It's possible to install the same port into differenz directories using a different prefix. Usually, ports are installed into /usr/local, including the proper subtrees, such as bin/, lib/ or share/. NB that it may happen that by forcing another prefix than /usr/local results in programs using the wrong libs. Furthermore, you need to specify a different bin/ path to run the application. Another option would be jails - each port installed and running in its own jail at the internal standard locations. But as you may see and already know, it's a bit complicated. :-) -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
