|
|
</H2>
|
|
|
|
<P>All things Spider can be found at
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.dxcluster.org">www.dxcluster.org</A> and the actual program and patches can be found in the
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.dxcluster.org/download/index.html">download</A> area.

<P>
|
|
<H2><A NAME="ss1.2">1.2 How do I use the patches?</A>
|
|
</H2>
|
|
|
|
<P>Patching is done in the standard linux way ...

zcat /tmp/patch-1.40 | patch -p0

<P>
|
|
<P>assuming the patch version you are using is 1.40 and resides in /tmp!
|
|
<P>
|
|
<P>Be aware that each patch assumes the previous patch has been applied. That
|
|
is to say if you are patching from version 1.38 to 1.40 you would first need
|
|
to apply patch-1.39 and then patch-1.40.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<H2><A NAME="ss1.3">1.3 If I use a tarball to overwrite my installation, what happens to my configuration?</A>
|
|
</H2>
|
|
|
|
<P>The tarballs are designed to not overwrite your existing configuration
|
|
and can be used at any time to update your Spider software. All the key
|
|
files have the suffix .issue (eg. DXVars.pm.issue) at default.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<H2><A NAME="ss1.4">1.4 I am running RedHat 5.2 and I am getting strange errors, what is wrong?</A>
|
|
</H2>
|
|
|
|
<P>The version of Perl that comes with 5.2 seems to be some kind of pre-release
|
|
and is broken. You can get a new version of perl from
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.dxcluster.org/download/index.html">www.dxcluster.org</A>
|
|
or
|
|
<A HREF="ftp://updates.redhat.com">ftp://updates.redhat.com</A>.
|
|
Don't forget to patch it with the CPAN modules.
|
|
<P>
