[Qgis-user] QGIS 2.0.1

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Lucien,

Oh - I was falsely assuming you are on Windows. On Windows it is easy to
install QGIS 1.8 and 2.0 in parallel, by using the OSGeo4W installer. I
don't know about Linux if you do not compile from source.

If you compile from source it is easy as you can define the
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX and you can write a small batch start-script to
start the other version. Something like:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/your/qgis/install/lib
/path/to/your/qgis/install/bin/qgis

Maybe other users know how to install already compiled versions in
parallel. My guess is that you would have to install the qgis libs in
separate folders and set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
