The following packages are required to enable PSPP's graphing
features. If you cannot arrange to install them, you must run
`configure' with --without-cairo.
* GTK+ (http://www.gtk.org/), version 2.12.0 or later.
+To cross-compile PSPP, you will likely need to set the
+PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR environment variable to point to an

Installing the following packages will allow your PSPP binary to read
Gnumeric files.
- * pkg-config (http://pkg-config.freedesktop.org/wiki/). Versions
