John, It sounds like I'm wasting your time appealing to your sympathies for >90% of the software users world-wide. That's fine.

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)* > > [amead@cow3 pspp-0.8.5]$ rpm -qi glib2 > Name : glib2 Relocations: (not relocatable) > Version : 2.28.8 Vendor: CentOS > Release : 4.el6 Build Date: Wed 15 Oct > 2014 01:33:45 PM CDT > Install Date: Thu 11 Dec 2014 09:14:21 AM CST Build Host: > c6b8.bsys.dev.centos.org > Group : System Environment/Libraries Source RPM: > glib2-2.28.8-4.el6.src.rpm > Size : 8047174 License: LGPLv2+ > Signature : RSA/SHA1, Fri 17 Oct 2014 03:02:33 PM CDT, Key ID > 0946fca2c105b9de > Packager : CentOS BuildSystem <http://bugs.centos.org> > URL : http://www.gtk.org > Summary : A library of handy utility functions > Description : > GLib is the low-level core library that forms the basis for projects > such as GTK+ and GNOME.

This is the latest version of glib2 provided for CentOS 6. *./configure on pspp-0.9.0-g072d1b produces this:* > *configure: error: The following required prerequisites are not > installed.** > **You must install them before PSPP can be built:** > ** gtk+ 3.0 version 3.4.2 or later (or use --without-gui)** > ** gtksourceview 3.0 version 3.4.2 or later (or use > --without-gui)** > ** glib 2.0 version 2.32 or later (or use --without-gui)* > > [amead@cow3 pspp-0.9.0-g072d1b]$ rpm -qi gtk2 gtksourceview2 > Name : gtk2 Relocations: (not relocatable) > Version : 2.24.23 Vendor: CentOS > Release : 6.el6 Build Date: Fri 17 Oct > 2014 04:22:08 AM CDT > Install Date: Thu 11 Dec 2014 09:14:37 AM CST Build Host: > c6b9.bsys.dev.centos.org > Group : System Environment/Libraries Source RPM: > gtk2-2.24.23-6.el6.src.rpm > Size : 12452995 License: LGPLv2+ > Signature : RSA/SHA1, Fri 17 Oct 2014 03:01:59 PM CDT, Key ID > 0946fca2c105b9de > Packager : CentOS BuildSystem <http://bugs.centos.org> > URL : http://www.gtk.org > Summary : The GIMP ToolKit (GTK+), a library for creating GUIs for X > Description : > GTK+ is a multi-platform toolkit for creating graphical user > interfaces.

There is no package for CentOS 6 that supplies GTK+ 3 or gtksourceview 3 and glib 2.28.8 is the latest glib for CentOS 6. -Alan -- Alan D.
