1. Installation

+ +

1.1 Where do I get DXSpider? +

+ +

All things Spider can be found at +www.dxcluster.org and the actual program and patches can be found in the +download area.

+ +

1.2 How do I use the patches? +

+ +

Patching is done in the standard linux way ...

+

+

+
+zcat /tmp/patch-1.40 | patch -p0
+
+
+

+ +

assuming the patch version you are using is 1.40 and resides in /tmp!

+ +

Be aware that each patch assumes the previous patch has been applied. That +is to say if you are patching from version 1.38 to 1.40 you would first need +to apply patch-1.39 and then patch-1.40.

+ +

1.3 If I use a tarball to overwrite my installation, what happens to my configuration? +

+ +

The tarballs are designed to not overwrite your existing configuration +and can be used at any time to update your Spider software. All the key +files have the suffix .issue (eg. DXVars.pm.issue) at default.

+ +

1.4 I am running RedHat 5.2 and I am getting strange errors, what is wrong? +

+ +

The version of Perl that comes with 5.2 seems to be some kind of pre-release +and is broken. You can get a new version of perl from +www.dxcluster.org +or +ftp://updates.redhat.com. +Don't forget to patch it with the CPAN modules.
