Without it, the new + graphing features will not work. If you do not have it + installed, you must run `configure' with --without-libplot. + + * ncurses and GNU readline are optional. They make for a more pleasant + command line interface. + +PSPP also has the following build dependencies: + + * perl 5.6 or later. + +A few system-specific issues have been noted. These may be PSPP bugs +or system bugs; we have not yet been able to track them down precisely: + + * On Solaris, one or more tests may fail `make check'. We have + only seen this reported on Solaris 9 with GCC 3.4.2. Our + reporter says that turning off optimization (with -O0) at least + masked the symptoms. + + * On Mac OS X, GCC 4.0.0 build 4061 has been observed to cause + some tests to fail. Later builds should work fine. + +Finally, a few extra notes: + + * The Sun WorkShop compiler will not work out of the box in this + release. Use GCC instead. We will fix this for the next + release. + + * GCC 4.x reports an inordinate number of warnings for this + release. You may ignore these for now. We will fix these for + the next release. + + + + + + + + + Copyright (C) 1994, 1995, 1996, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
