CentOS attempts close compatibility to Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), so if RHEL doesn't ship PSPP, then contributions would go into an Extra's repo or some projects maintain a package for RHEL/CentOS. But Fedora is upstream and used to maintain a PSPP package (maybe still does; and it not using ancient versions of libraries like RHEL) so that's where I'd focus. I can take a look since it's been a long time. The last version of PSPPIRE that I got to compile on CentOS 6 (with considerable help from you) was 0.8.5, IIRC, and I think at the time we didn't think that CentOS 6 would ever support future versions because of the old libraries (including, IIRC, libc). That's fine, it's almost EOL, but CentOS 7 probably isn't that much more advanced. -Alan -- Alan D.
