couchdb alt install location

[bsquared <bw...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I have cloned couchdb 1.2.x and would like to install it for testing
purposes.  Are there any concerns with running 
  ./configure --prefix=/opt
  make && sudo make install

I would like to have this installed side by side with my existing
instance in 
  /usr/bin.

Thank you.

Make sure that you change the port before booting or you'll get some
dense errors about the port being in use. Other than that your data
and config files should all be cleanly installed under /opt so you
won't trample on another install (assuming its not in /opt :).
