Possibility of running two seperate MySQL versions?

Hi all,

I wonder whether there is a possibility of running to seperate MySQL versions (4.0 and 4.1) on one system. If so, I'd like to use 4.0 on PHP 4.4 and 4.1 on PHP 5.1 (using the mysql and mysqli USE flags), although I suspect this will be difficult.

Or is there any way to do this?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, it is possible to run two servers on one SYSTEM. But in my opinion it will not be possible at the same TIME and will not work with portage. As far as i can see that, you have to load the sources or binaries manually and configure and compile them yourself. Then of course you can run them on the same machine, but there will be access problems which will deny a parallel working.

But if it is just for youre home machine, you can to that and write a changing-script to change the mysql-version.
