[Dxspider-support] Help with new installation

[Bob Nielsen]

What directory were you in when you tried to run ./client?  That  
should only work if you are in /spider/src ("./" is a shortcut to the  
current directory).  If you want to run it from anywhere else, you  
should use the full path (as you did) or copy it to some place in  
your $PATH (such as /usr/local/bin).
