[Dxspider-support] DXSpider installation error

[Mikel EA2CW]

Hi Tony,

Seems that the error can be in the dxspider git files, not at the SV5FRI 
script...
Have you tried to edit the /<whatever>/spider/perl/DXVars.pm.issue file 
and delete the extra <'> character after doing the git clone and before 
starting the script (or pausing it)?
