     I've fixed the problem.  At least, the version in CVS now works
     with 5.6.1 for me.  I've marked the bug fixed, and I'd appreciate
     confirmation from one or the other of you that it works for you
     too.

It worked for me too. Thanks for fixing it.

But I had some other problems compiling on my Woody box, which I've
now fixed and checked into CVS.  It's still not completely without
hitch, but the following procedure now builds PSPP for me.  I've got a
bog standard Woody installation, except that I've installed libgsl-1.6


export LDFLAGS="-L /usr/local/lib"       # so that configure finds the
                                         # correct gsl version.


make -f Smake                            # This terminates with an
                                         # error  about needing
                                         # libplot. Which I dont have.


./configure --without-libplot

cd doc 
makeinfo --force -o pspp.info pspp.texinfo # Older versions of
cd ..                                      # makeinfo complain about
                                           # having colons in indeces.
                                           # So I make it manually, 
                                           # ignoring the error.

make 

make check



All tests passed OK.
