Dear All
On linux and big data sets it was (at least in the past, not used
recently) worthwhile to compile with a bigger workspace (if my memory is
correct line 66 file settings.c in src/data). It seems to me that 64M
is small with today memory but I'm not sure to be right
Many thanks for PSPP programmers

Before you run a PSPP analysis, press the "CRTL" and "Alt" and
"Delete" keys and select "Start Task Manager" and go to the
"Processes" tab and click on CPU so that the little arrow points down.
This allows you to monitor the workload of your Windows computer. Then
minimize Task Manager and start the analysis in PSPP. Then, while it
says "Not Responding" look at the Task Manager window and see what CPU
and Memory say. The CPU is in percentages and the Memory is in Kb.
If the CPU isn't always high (while PSPP is running your analysis)
then it means that PSPP is running out of memory. Also if another
program is competing for the CPU, you'll see that (less likely these
days when most computers have multiple cores).

Alan,
I performed a frequency operation on one variable with PSPP on
my large dataset. After a few minutes I got results (after getting
a "PSPPIRE Data Editor Not Responding" message. I will continue
trying to get results.

Alan,
I have been able to successfully calculate the frequency of v1 in th
dataset hotel.sav you sent me.
I will try once again to do a frequency on a variable in the
large dataset
I have here and get back to you

(Building off my last answer) That depends on how long you've
allowed it to run. Maybe PSPP is too slow.

Dear Alan,
I have just now tried your suggestion on running
Freq/variable in a blank window.
That too gets PSPPIRE Editor (Not Responding). I have tried
that on my daughter's
laptop (a 64 bit COMPAQ) since I had already uninstalled
PSPP on my laptop.
I kind of assume that the dataset is too big for PSPP.

Dear Alan,
Thank you for your early reply.
I had installed version 10.2 of PSPP. for 64 bit
computers with Windows 7.
My dataset was downloaded from http://dhsprogram.com/
(a Demographic and Health Survey for India) and its size
is 429,852 Kb.
I have been able to look at many of the variables to see
their full names appear
but when I ask the program to give me a frequency or
something else, the top
bar above the dataset says "(Not responding)".
I am sorry I don't understand all the technical words
you are using ("gui" etc.)
but I have used SPSS for a number of years for my study
and work so I know
how to use it. However I never use any syntax apart from
the program itself.
I hope this clarifies the problem I am facing.
Thanks and regards,
Cecily Ray

Do you recall what version of PSPP you installed? Do
you recall if it was the 32-bit or 64-bit version? I
am using an older version, pspp 0.10.1-g1082b8, and
it works fine on my 64-bit windows 7.
When you say that the program doesn't respond, you
click on the gui and a dialog opens but the
statistics doesn't show up in the output? Or what
exactly do you mean by "does not respond"? Compared
to SPSS (which raises the output window when new
output appears) PSPP is relatively quiet (the output
window should "throb" but not raise itself).
After opening a dataset, if you click File > New >
Syntax do you get a blank syntax window? And can you
type: "freq / x." (without the quotes)? And If you
then change "x" to be one of your variables and
select Run > All does output appear?

Dear Programmers,
Yesterday I installed PPSP for Windows (I have
version 7) on my Toshiba Satellite C655 laptop (64
bit).
The dataset opens nicely but the program does not
respond whenever I try any performing any operation
like frequencies of a variable.
If you can help me know what to do at the earliest,
I would be most grateful.
Thanking you,
Cecily Ray
