Simpy saying "did not work" isn't useful information.  - it could mean almost 
anything.
It could mean that the computer fails to boot. It could mean that it failed to 
install.  It could mean that it crashed on startup ... It could mean that it 
lounged around in bed all day.

This is a slightly better report, because you have described - albeit vaguely - 
the nature of the problem.
However it's not clear (at least not to me) *why* the syntax file cannot be 
edited.


See https://www.gnu.org/software/pspp/manual/html_node/Bugs.html for tips on 
how to give useful bug reports.

I hope so too, but with such a vague report I don't think there will be 
anything to work with.
