[Dxspider-support] sysop privileges

[Ken Wolff]

Ian & Dirk,

Thanks for the quick reply. After a certain amount of fussing, I
upgraded to Curses-1.0.6.

It looks like the sysop privilege problem was self inflicted. I think I
ran create_sysop.pl either before DXVars.pm was edited, or with the
wrong callsign in DXVars.pm. After running create_sysop, changing
$myalias callsign after the fact makes the client program unhappy.

By the way, in the installation manual, the link to 
http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/Data/Data-Dumper-2.10.tar.gz 
appears to be broken. I found my copy at 
http://public.activestate.com/gsar/Data-Dumper-2.10.tar.gz

Also, for those considering Mandrake, the perl that came with it does
not seem to contain enough "standard" stuff. I installed from
http://www.activestate.com.

Like G7OPJ, I would like to continue using my DRSI cards. 

73, Ken K1EA

Hi Ken,
I suggest that you upgrade to the later CVS version first, the build
version should be 56.953.
Secondly, you do not say which version of curses you have.  You should
have Curses-1.06.  You can find a link to this in the installation
manual and it is simple to install.  Get the file, then as root untar
it...

tar -zxvf Curses-1.06.tar.gz

cd into the resultant directory...

cd Curses-1.06

perl Makefile.pl
make
make test
make install

You will then have the right version to run the console.  I suspect you
are still on Curses-1.05.
Ian
