Freecad : install 2 versions of an AUR package?

hello everyone,

I have a problem with Freecad, and I got a few question.
I hesitated to post in the Newbie corner.

In freecad there's the possibility to do analysis (mechanical for instance), it's called FEM (Finite Element Method).
I need to create a mesh with gmsh (AUR) wich depends on med3 (AUR).
But Freecad depends on med4 and doesn't seem to work against med3.

In fact, at the beginning I installed Freecad against med4 and now, when -uninstall freecad -uninstall med4 -install med3 - install freecad , it doesn't seem to compile, writing :

 ATTENTION: A package has already been compilated, installing current package. 

so maybe it's not that Freecad doesn't work with med3 but instead that it dind't compile at all against med3, and is still looking for med4, which is not here.

My questions :

-Does pacman -R --nosave delete the compiled version? how can I do to really delete the thing

- How can I install the 2 versions of med.

P.S. I posted a thread in the Freecad forum.

Thank you very much

Increment the pkgrel in the PKGBUILD, or see

man makepkg | less -p force

Mod note: moving to AUR Issues.
