If you don't have a version already, you can install GNU
libiconv (http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/).
-The following package is required to enable PSPP's graphing features.
-If you cannot arrange to install it, you must run `configure' with
---without-libplot.
+ * libintl, from GNU gettext (http://ww.gnu.org/software/gettext).
+ GNU libc includes an integrated libintl, so there is no need to
+ separately install libintl on a GNU/Linux system.
- * libplot, from GNU plotutils
- (http://www.gnu.org/software/plotutils/).
+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.
+
+ * Cairo (http://cairographics.org/), version 1.5 or later.
+
+ * Pango (http://www.pango.org/), version 1.22 or later.
The following packages are required to enable PSPPIRE, the graphical
user interface for PSPP. If you cannot install them or do not wish to
* GTK+ (http://www.gtk.org/), version 2.12.0 or later.
- * pkg-config (http://pkg-config.freedesktop.org/wiki/). Versions
- 0.18 and 0.19 have a bug that will prevent library detection,
- but other versions should be fine.
-
To cross-compile PSPP, you will likely need to set the
PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR environment variable to point to an
appropriate pkg-config for the cross-compilation environment.
* libxml2 (http://xmlsoft.org/).
+Installing the following packages will allow your PSPP binary to write
+OpenDocument text (ODT) files:
+
+ * libxml2 (http://xmlsoft.org/).

The following packages are optional.
* libncurses (http://www.gnu.org/software/ncurses/). Without it,
root permissions. If you cannot get root permissions, see
"Installation Names", below.
+ Please note: The `make install' target does NOT install the perl
+ module (see below). To install the perl module, you must change to
+ the `perl-module' directory and manually run `make install' there.

source code directory by typing `make clean'. To also remove the
files that `configure' created (so you can compile the package for
Optional Features
=================
-`--without-libplot'
- Don't compile in support for charts (using libplot). This is
- useful if your system doesn't have the libplot library.
+`--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.
+
`--with-gui-tools'
Build the gui developer tools. There is no reason to use this
option unless you're involved with the development of PSPP
In these cases you can use --without-lib{xx} to force configure
to disregard it.
+`--without-perl-module'
+ Disable building the Perl module, in case it does not build properly
+ or you do not need it.
+
`--enable-anachronistic-dependencies'
If you use this option, some of the checks for dependent libraries
will be relaxed, permitting configure to succeed when older versions
