The following packages are required to enable PSPPIRE, the graphical
user interface for PSPP. If you cannot install them or do not wish to
use the GUI, you must run `configure' with --without-gui.
Optional Features
=================
-`--without-cairo'
- Don't compile in support for charts (using Cairo and Pango). This
- is useful if your system lacks these libraries.
-
`--without-gui'
Don't build the PSPPIRE gui. Use this option if you only want to
build the command line version of PSPP.
- Cairo and Pango required to build the GUI, so --without-cairo
- implies --without-gui.
-
`--without-lib{xx}'
Optional libraries should normally be detected and the relevant
functionality will be built they exist. However, on some poorly
