-Instructions for installation are in INSTALL. Before you install
-PSPP, you will need to install certain prerequisites:
-
- * An ANSI C compiler and tool chain.
-
- * The GNU Scientific Library (libgsl), version 1.6 or later,
- including libgslcblas included with GSL.
-
- * Perl, version 5.005_03 or later. (Perl is required during build
- but not after installation.)
-
- * pkg-config (only if you need to regenerate configure after
- modifying configure.ac).
-
- * iconv, which should be installed as part of a Unix-like system.
- If you don't have a version already, you can install GNU
- libiconv (http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/).
-
- * Optional: libncurses. Without it, PSPP will assume it is
- running in an 80x25 terminal.
-
- * Optional: libreadline and libhistory. Without them, interactive
- command editing and history features will be disabled.
-
- * Optional: libplot (from GNU plotutils). Without it,
- graphing features will not work. If you do not have it
- installed, you must run `configure' with --without-libplot.
-
- * Optional: GTK+ version 2.6.0 or later (2.10.2 or later is
- recommended), plus libglade 2.0 or later. Without them, the
- GUI will not be built. If you do not have these installed, you
- must run `configure' with --without-gui.
-
- * Optional: Texinfo 4.7 or later, if you want to build the
- documentation in PostScript or PDF format.
