Saying using a 'nix OS and saying two versions of the PROGRAM on the 
machine isn't enough information. All 'nix OSs support multiple USERS 
(actually would support multiple simultaneous users though few have the 
hardware set up allow that (multiple keyboards, screens, etc.) so 
usually just multiple sequential users.

So.... are you intending to use your two versions of gnucash as the same 
user or as separate users. Remember, while you are a single human, your 
computer doesn't know that. Back when I had a 'nix up I had three 
logins, administrator, test, and myself. This was soon after initially 
retiring; I was used to having multiple log ins at work, for example my 
usual "development" log in and an emergency use only "production" login 
<< used only when needing to fix production after hours when I might not 
have a "production team" person on site -- otherwise I'd tell a 
production team person "do this or that", "submit this job for me" etc. >>

Same user vs separate user are DIFFERENT problems (the latter is 
trivially easy)
