It looks like the latest version available here:
http://pspp.awardspace.com/
is GNU pspp 1.0.1-g818227 and I installed that version. It will read my test CSV data but now allow me to read the variable names nor modify the types, etc. I can think of a few workarounds:
- Place the file someplace like C:\ . This worked for me,
although a network drive of G:\ did not (PSPPire crashed). There
is something about long paths that seems to trigger bug 52873 .
- Read the file into LibreOffice and save it as a spreadsheet; PSPP reads .ODS files.
- Paste the resulting syntax and then edit it to achieve your
desired goal (e.g., rename VAR001, VAR002, etc. to the names and
formats you want).
- Install the latest version at the URL above and import the data and then manually fix the data (e.g., rename VAR001, VAR002, etc. to the names and formats you want).
- Uninstall PSPP and find version from 2016-07-14 and install
that. It is reported to handle this issue correctly.
If that doesn't work, is it possible to send a small sample of
the CSV file to the list or attach it to this bug:
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?52873 ? Maybe there's something
about your file that is triggering this issue.

Hi Alan,
Thanks for getting back to me so soon. Here is the version of PSPP I downloaded: GNU pspp 0.10.5-pre2g9a68ffThe file I was trying to import is a .csv file. The tutorials said it was compatible.
Best,Stefana

Stefana,
This sounds like a bug others have encountered. Can you tell us the version you are using (Help > About).
Do you know the file format the Qualtrics file? I think it's a delimited file, but that's a guess... PSPP is limited in which file formats it can import.

Hi,I'm a new user of PSPP on a Windows computer, and I have trouble importing data from Qualtrics into the program. After selecting the file, the program doesn't display any of the options on customizing my variables. I can hit next and then apply, but then the variables are inserted automatically, and the the responses are not imported. Here are some print screens of what happens.Could you help me?Thank you!Stefana
