Re: install pspp 0.10.x on lunux

Rob,

Are you trying to make a git pull or a release (tarball)?  I don't know what the differences are, but making a git pull is said to be more complex, so I'd recommend getting a release (http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/pspp/).

I'm not sure that you can compile recent PSPP on CentOS 6, but I think you need to install: libxml2, libxml2-devel, gsl, gsl-devel, and possibly blas, blas-devel.  I determined these with the command

$ yum search XXX

where XXX was the things that configure wants.

here is more specifically the situation on the install....

We are trying to build pspp-0.10.2 from source on a Centos 6.8 system. I have made sure that the system has all the libraries installed, however, on ./configure --without-cairo --without-gui , the configure process ends saying that libxml2 is not installed, libgslcblas and gsl version 1.13 or later are not installed.

No makefile is generated so the install can't continue. How would we specify for the configure file to look in a specific location for the libraries it says it is missing?

Subject: install pspp 0.10.x on lunux

Hi.  i'm wondering if there are specific directions on how to compile a new version of pspp on a linux box.  We are currently running 0.7.9 and need to get a more recent version.  I need to tell my IT version and instructions for install/upgrade.  Any help would be appreciated.
