Subject: How do I install both Ruby 1.8 and Ruby 1.9?

Hi,

I have Ruby 1.8 installed (on Linux) in /usr/local/bin/.

I want to have a copy of a Ruby 1.9 snapshot around too, so I can try
out stuff out with that.

But I can't figure out how to install it in a different location.
I've altered the "prefix" variable in the Makefile, but when I do a
"make install", it just overwrites my Ruby 1.8 installation in /usr/
local/bin.

I imagine there is a simple solution to this.  Can anyone share it?
