SPSS's transformation language. Its statistical procedure support is
currently limited, but growing.
+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.
+
