It sounds like you think that the source code is a binary that you can
run. It is not.
If you want a binary that you can run, please download one for your
operating system:
http://www.gnu.org/software/pspp/get.html
On the other hand, if you really did want to build from the source tarball,
there are step by step instructions located in the INSTALL file: See
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/pspp.git/plain/INSTALLThese instructions, and those on the web site, are intended to be simple to follow. So if you find they are not please report it as a bug.
