Yes.

Untar or cvs checkout the source into a different directory. So if you
have created a user called 'spider' with the source in /home/spider and
ln -s /home/spider /spider. Then (maybe) create another user or just use
another existing user and put the new spider tree there.

So if you have a user 'foo' you will get the new tree
in /home/foo/spider. 

Then, make sure that the /home/foo/.bashrc script has the line:-

export DXSPIDER_ROOT=~/spider
or
export DXSPIDER_ROOT=/home/foo/spider
(they are both the same thing)

If you login as 'foo' you can then 'cd spider' and run that instance of
the code completely independently of any other installation.
