Re: Install two different versions of postgres which should run in parallel

Check the postgresql.conf in the $prefix/data dir. Also post the exact 
error log (which in this case should be some like "address already in 
use", because port 5432 is in use by the 8.2.4 version), and also the 
exact command you are executing.

Cheers.
