For those >90%, shouldn't PSPPIRE be called just that instead of
"PSPP for Windows"? The problems we are talking about are merely
cross-platform GUI compatibility issues, and with all due respect (I
like PSPPIRE a lot) I think it's unfair that PSPP's reputation
should suffer from this.
Maybe some day we will have lots of "yet-an-other" or
"just-an-other" graphical front-ends for PSSP.

It sounds like I'm wasting your time appealing to your sympathies

Pspp builds fine for me on a stable Debian release. If you can provide
details of the problem preventing you from building on CentOS we will try
to address that.
I think it's no more complex than PSPP having library requirements
that CentOS 6 will never meet (without developer-level efforts).
We can also see that PSPP's requirements are accelerating away
from CentOS 6. Here are the details:
./confgure on pspp-0.8.5 produces:
configure: error: The following
required prerequisites are not installed.
You must install them before PSPP can be built:
glib 2.0 version 2.32 or later (or use
--without-gui)

system.
This is the latest version of glib2 provided for CentOS 6.

I watched C-Sharp glitter in the dark near a programmable gate.
