Hi!
I usually install several versions of SA on the same machine without any
trouble.
Fo instance, to test 3.3.2-rc2 I used this procedure
1 wget
http://people.apache.org/~wtogami/devel/3.3.2-rc2/Mail-SpamAssassin-3.3.2-rc2.tar.gz
2 wget -q
http://people.apache.org/~wtogami/devel/3.3.2-rc2/Mail-SpamAssassin-3.3.2-rc2.tar.gz.md5-O
- | md5sum -c
3 tar zxvf Mail-SpamAssassin-3.3.2-rc2.tar.gz
4 cd Mail-SpamAssassin-3.3.2
5 perl Makefile.PL prefix=/opt/spamassassin332
sysconfdir=/opt/spamassassin332/etc datadir=/opt/spamassassin332/var
localstatedir=/opt/spamassassin332/var
6 make
7 make test
8 make install
9 /opt/spamassassin332/bin/sa-update -D
Keep an eye on the output os step5, it may complain about a missing module.
