[Dxspider-support] DXSpider installation error

[Tony K1AX]

Yes, sorry I was not clear. The error is in the git file, not SV5FRI's script. There's no way to pause his script to fix the file and then resume it, which is why I think I'll just do it manually this time.


73,

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)?
