same system?

Yes, as long as your system supports OpenGL (Indy, Indigo, Indigo2,
Crimson, and RealityEngine support OpenGL at this time). First,
install the 2.0 version of both inventor_dev and inventor_eoe.
REALLY IMPORTANT: When installing Inventor 2.0, previous Inventor
versions will AUTOMATICALLY be removed.
To re-install 1.1.2, you will need to use the 1.1.2 CD* to install
1.1.2 into a different location (so as not to ruin 2.0). Please note
that you will have to change the Makefiles of programs that will
compile and link with 1.1.2 (-I and -l need to point to your safe
locations of Inventor 1.1.2). To install Inventor 1.1.2 under a
different root directory than /, so that Inventor 2.0 may be
installed under /:
# Install 1.1.2 compatibility library from Inventor 2.0 images
inst -f inventor_eoe (get inventor_eoe.sw.1_1)
# Create a directory to hold Inventor 1.1.2
mkdir /usr/myroot
# Fool inst into thinking you have prerequisites installed
mkdir -p /usr/myroot/var/inst
cp /var/inst/{c,dev,c_dev,gl_dev,motif_eoe,inventor_eoe} /usr/myroot/var/inst
# Install Inventor 1.1.2 under your root directory
inst -r /usr/myroot -f inventor_dev
To make Inventor 1.1.2 sample programs in this new directory:
ln -s /usr/lib/libInventor.so.1 /usr/myroot/usr/lib/libInventor.so
cd /usr/myroot/usr/share/src/Inventor/examples/PG1
# Add to the Makefile, after the line: include /usr/include/make/commondefs
LC++INCS = -I/usr/myroot/usr/include
LCINCS = -I/usr/myroot/usr/include
LLDOPTS = -L/usr/myroot/usr/lib
To re-install Inventor 1.0.1, install the subsystem
"irix4_inventor_dev", found on the Inventor 2.0 or Inventor 1.1.2
CDs. This will install the 1.0.1 headers and libraries under
/usr/irix4. You must change your makefiles to use include and link
to this new location.
