How can I have multiple inkscape versions on the same machine (im on fedora8) and can you choose if those use the same or their own profiles?
All just guesses but...
1) Call them by different names or put them in different places. However if they use different versions of the same libs - well, that's up to you how messy you want to make you system.
I just checked my inkscape: $ inkscape --version Inkscape 0.45.1 (Mar 21 2007) $ ldd /usr/bin/inkscape | wc 76 301 4294 ...wow, inkscape is linking into about 76 different libs! Good luck at trying to support older versions!
2) Looks like inkscape puts personal perf stuff in the ~/.inkscape directory. Don't know if you can change that. If not, you can always create dummy user accounts and run a different version of inkscape in each.
...don't know if that helps you out or not, sorry.
