Installing MySQL 5 alongside with MySQL 4.

I'd like to install MySQL 5 on a server that already run MySQL 4.1, but keep it listening on another TCP port. Ive put MySQL 5 in /usr/local/mysql5 and /home/mysql5 instead and I use /etc/my5.cnf.
All goes well until I try to start MySQL5 when I get:

"A mysqld process already exists"

Maybe its not possible to run multiple MySQL servers on one machine?
