Anttoine-
My version of Linux (Ubuntu 10.04) will not allow me to install the two
libraries simultaneously on the same file system.  I have not considered
chroot- I don't know if it will find the alternative file system.  Worth a
try, I suppose.  Since I like to keep two instances of the entire distro on
my computer (one, my "working" system, one my "experimental" system)
rebooting has always been my "lazy" approach.  I'm not sure how to use
chroot in this process, since both systems have root named "/"...maybe
worth experimentings with.
