What I do is keep them always installed in separate prefixes with ./configure --prefix, and use PATH to choose them: /usr/local/mit-scheme/10.1.9 /usr/local/mit-scheme/10.1.10 /usr/local/mit-scheme/master-20200430 Then, e.g.: env -i PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/mit-scheme/10.1.10/bin ./Setup.sh (For my own interactive use I also put a symlink in ~/usr/bin, which is in my normal PATH, so I can still just type `scheme' to start it up, but using `env -i PATH=...' ensures nothing accidentally gets that.) > The error I get is: > > ;Unable to find file "edwin.bld" because: File does not exist.

I don't trust maintainer-clean, because the makefiles aren't very good at being around at all the right times; I always use `git clean -dxn' (and review what it will delete to make sure it's nothing important) and then `git clean -dxf'.
