A common way of handling this at data centers is to use the modules package:

http://modules.sourceforge.net/

If you don't want to go to the effort of using that, then you can do
the following:

* When configuring each version of the library, set the --prefix
argument to indicate a directory directory to install to under that
particular location. For example, to install both 4.1.3 and 4.2.1.1,
here is what I do:

% cd /home/pierce/src/packages/data/netcdf/netcdf-4.1.3
% ./configure 
--prefix=/home/pierce/src/packages/data/netcdf/netcdf-4.1.3/install
 --enable-dap --enable-netcdf-4  --enable-shared
% make
% make install

% cd /home/pierce/src/packages/data/netcdf/netcdf-4.2.1.1
% ./configure 
--prefix=/home/pierce/src/packages/data/netcdf/netcdf-4.2.1.1/install
 --enable-dap --enable-netcdf-4  --enable-shared
% make
% make install

You will then have 2 complete installations.

To use the installation you want:

* If compiling: Set the -L (library path) flag correctly. I.e., use
something like
"gcc -L /home/pierce/src/packages/data/netcdf/netcdf-4.1.3/install -lnetcdf" or
