Not using the installed path, that I can think of, anyway.  I use an
alternative way of having multiple versions installed simultaneously
using a symbolic link to select the "active" one.   Each version is
./configure'd with --prefix= and installed into a custom path, then a
symbolic link is made to a standard path name:

/home/jcorgan/.sys-trunk
/home/jcorgan/.sys-release-3.1.3
/home/jcorgan/.sys-release-3.2rc0

Then whichever I one I want to use I symbolic link:

$ ln -s .sys-trunk .sys

Finally, I set environment variables in .bashrc to find everything:

PREFIX=/home/jcorgan/.sys
export PATH=$PATH:$PREFIX/bin:/opt/microblaze/bin
export LD_LOAD_LIBRARY=$PREFIX/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PREFIX/lib
export PYTHONPATH=$PREFIX/lib/python2.5/site-packages
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PREFIX/lib/pkgconfig

At this point switching between GNU Radio installations is as simple
as deleting and making a new symbolic link, then re-running ldconfig.
