[Dxspider-support] installing on a rpi2B

[Dirk Koopman]

Jan

On (standard) bullseye, all the packages required for DXSpider are 
available for installation via apt or apt-get. On RPi lite OS 32bit, I 
don't know. The 32bit part is not important, I am pretty sure that, in 
the dim and distant past I have run a (master branch) test node in 
RPi2+. DXSpider does not need, nor depend on running on a 64 bit 
platform. It ran on Windows 95 for deity's sake (using ActiveState perl).

In answer to your question "what is wrong": you are on the wrong branch 
(master). To get on the correct branch do a 'git checkout --track -b 
mojo origin/mojo' and follow the instructions in /spider/UPGRADE.mojo.
