I may have understood this wrong, but I thought that CentOS was a "downstream" of Redhat Fedora. I see that PSPP 0.8.5 (the latest release) is already packaged for Fedora - See https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/pspp
So presumably it ought to be in CentOS too. Or have I misunderstood something?

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)
