Andrew I've done it but only in a test environment. I actually had 3 different versions of Mysql running plus Postgres.
Each of the Mysql's and Postgress were installed to /opt/<database>-version and paths set accordingly. I've had no problems and they databases have been continuously up for over a month.

At the moment we have several reasonable fast servers (dual Xeon GHz, 1GB ram, 15,000rpm scsi disk) running MySQL in a replicated environment with high volumes of queries (high read:write ratio) and I now have a need to deploy PostgreSQL but I don't particularly want to buy a stack of hardware to do this. I would love to hear any experiences / problems that people have had or any ideas on the subject at all. Looking forward to the replies.
