If the files (binaries, libraries, headers, etc.) for each version
are installed in different places and the postmasters are configured
to listen on different ports, then they should be able to coexist.
However, as you've discovered, a problem is that you might accidentally
use files for one version when you wanted the other. One way of
handling that is described in Issue #105 of the General Bits
newsletter under "Organizing Your Environment for Multiple Databases
and Installations":
