Is it possible to have 2 copies of MythTV on the same system. They<br>
don't need to both run at the same time. I have Mythbuntu and I want<br>
to compile some source code into MythTV, mainly the patch to get BOB<br>
to work. I want to keep my Working MythTV as it is and have a second<br>
copy of MythTV I can stuff around with and break on a regular basis<br>
without upsetting my wife.<br>
</blockquote><div><br>--prefix=/some/other/install/location to the configure script will probably help. <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

Is it just a case of making a new user (mythdev) and installing myth<br>
under that account and pointing that install to a different database ?</blockquote><div><br>I suspect it is, yes.<br><br>Build it with a different prefix, export LD_LIBRARY_PATH with the lib dir of the new install first, and you should be able to run it from /some/other/install/location/bin<br>
<br>Also, as you say, use different databases. (I think the same mysql user should be ok, although you might want to add some seperation here too, so that if you point it at the wrong place accidentally it doesn't break a working myth.)<br>
