In 99% of cases, that is all you have to do - FINISHED!

If any part of the above process fails, then it is

+ version 1.13 or later, including libgslcblas included with GSL.
* Perl (http://www.perl.org/), version 5.005_03 or later. Perl is
required during build but not after installation.
If you don't have a version already, you can install GNU
libiconv (http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/).

GNU libc includes an integrated libintl, so there is no need to
separately install libintl on a GNU/Linux system.
0.18 and 0.19 have a bug that will prevent library detection,
but other versions should be fine.

is an example:
- ./configure CC=c89 CFLAGS=-O2 LIBS=-lposix
+ ./configure CC=c89 CFLAGS=-O0 LIBS=-lposix
To cross-compile PSPP, you will likely need to set the
PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR environment variable to point to an
