Hi list!
I have a working installation of OpenBSC+LCR+Asterisk in my system and now, I want to install OpenGGSN in addiction.
I am trying tutorial of the next link: http://openbsc.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/OpenBSC_GPRS and I don't know if the new compilation of osmo-nitb will crash previous installation.
I think that I have to install new programs in the same location where previous are but if I am not sure about because this could crash it.
Thank you!
Arturo Rivas.

you don't even _have_ to install openbsc/osmo-sgsn/openggsn at all, you can start them right out of their respective source tree. And while having multiple versions installed in different directories is likely to confuse the human user (making mistakes), the software itself doesn't have problems with it.
The only part you need to be careful about is the libraries (libosmcoore, libosmo-abis, etc.) - they need to be installed. And I suggest that you either always install to the same directory, or you use "make uninstall" from the _old_ source tree before you install the new version.

What do you mean with "crash previous installation"? OpenGGSN provides a library called libgtp. It is an implementation of the GTP protocol used by the SGSN and GGSN to communicate with each other. Depending on when you built OpenGGSN you might or might not have had a installed version of libgtp. This matters because at the time you "./configure" OpenBSC it will decide to build or not build the OsmoSGSN application. Building with the libgtp library present does not influence the build of osmo-nitb.
