Good one. 
All 144 tests pass on my Linux x86_64 (Mandriva 2008).

The GUI is there too but I get nothing when I run descriptive statistics (eg. 
Frequencies). In fact most of the menus do not respond. I see no error 
message.
Also I don't have the history feature enabled in pspp although I have 
libhistory and libreadline installed.

# ldconfig -p | grep libhistory
        libhistory.so.5 (libc6,x86-64) => /lib64/libhistory.so.5
# ldconfig -p | grep libreadline
        libreadline.so.5 (libc6,x86-64) => /lib64/libreadline.so.5

I hope that helps.
