Rob, Are you trying to make a git pull or a release (tarball)? I don't know what the differences are, but making a git pull is said to be more complex, so I'd recommend getting a release (http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/pspp/).
I'm not sure that you can compile recent PSPP on CentOS 6, but I think you need to install: libxml2, libxml2-devel, gsl, gsl-devel, and possibly blas, blas-devel. I determined these with the command $ yum search XXX where XXX was the things that configure wants. -Alan On 10/28/2016 1:22 PM, Mogerman Rob wrote: > here is more specifically the situation on the install.... > > We are trying to build pspp-0.10.2 from source on a Centos 6.8 system. > I have made sure that the system has all the libraries installed, > however, on ./configure --without-cairo --without-gui , the configure > process ends saying that libxml2 is not installed, libgslcblas and gsl > version 1.13 or later are not installed. > No makefile is generated so the install can't continue.
