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?
    

Probably the best way is to install them to a different prefix.  For
instance, I keep a stable version "installed" on my machine.  To get a
new dev version I do this:

  $ vcs co http://blah/ inkscape
  $ cd inkscape
  $ ./autogen.sh
  $ mkdir build
  $ cd build
  $ ../configure --prefix=`pwd`/../install
  $ make install

You can then execute the dev version with:

  $ <check out dir>/install/bin/inkscape

It will continue to use the same preferences files.

I'm using this method to compile (only from source snapshots) and I've just noticed that my dev builds can't import pdf files, while the official 0.46 can. How do I need to compile the dev builds to make sure all the features are included?
