hi,
i have downloaded and compiled PSPP form the git repository in a laptop running
ubuntu 12.04.
i have never tried git before; so i've some questions. i'll be highly obliged
if these questions could be answered-
1)i was previously using the PSPP version available in the ubuntu repository.
the first difference i have found with that version in this compiled version is
that i am unable to launch the gui from the unity shortcut. i mean when i am
clicking on the shortcut of the pspp, nothing happens.
on typing psppire or pspp in the terminal, the gui/cli is launching
respectively; but the shortcut is not working.
how could i launch the gui from the shortcut again?
2)how to stay updated with latest version of PSPP?
i mean previously, whenever any latest version became available in the
repository, it appeared in the updates. now that i am using the git repository,
what will be the step to download the latest update? do i need to repeat all
the steps for compiling and installing?
steps followed-
1. git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/pspp.git
2. git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/gnulib.git gnulib
3. cd gnulib
4. git checkout 392f10a #commit number;first few digits
5. cd
6. cd pspp
7. make -f Smake
8. ./configure
9. make
10. sudo make install
3) in case i need to repeat this procedure everytime for the update, will it
download the whole file again? or only the changed files? asking this question
keeping in mind about the data usage limit of my internet connection.
regards,
Dr Soumalya Ray
