A common way of handling this at data centers is to use the modules package:
http://modules.sourceforge.net/
If you don't want to go to the effort of using that, then you can do
the following:
* When configuring each version of the library, set the --prefix
argument to indicate a directory directory to install to under that
particular location. For example, to install both 4.1.3 and 4.2.1.1,
here is what I do:
% cd /home/pierce/src/packages/data/netcdf/netcdf-4.1.3
% ./configure
--prefix=/home/pierce/src/packages/data/netcdf/netcdf-4.1.3/install
--enable-dap --enable-netcdf-4 --enable-shared
% make
% make install
% cd /home/pierce/src/packages/data/netcdf/netcdf-4.2.1.1
% ./configure
--prefix=/home/pierce/src/packages/data/netcdf/netcdf-4.2.1.1/install
--enable-dap --enable-netcdf-4 --enable-shared
% make
% make install
You will then have 2 complete installations.
To use the installation you want:
* If compiling: Set the -L (library path) flag correctly. I.e., use
something like
"gcc -L /home/pierce/src/packages/data/netcdf/netcdf-4.1.3/install -lnetcdf" or
