Thanks. We don't use the GUI and only need some basic ascii to sav conversion
abilities so an older version should probably work.

I see RPMs packaged for Fedora, but not CentOS. Quite a while ago, I tried
compiling PSPP (and PSPPIRE, the gui part of pspp) on CentOS 7 and I had
difficulty with some of the libraries. The default libraries on CentOS are
pretty old (the RHEL "stability" issue) and PSPP now requires a library that
John is packaging separately to display the spreadsheet view of the data. Last
time I looked, that library wasn't packaged for CentOS.
So, the consequence of this is that I think it's difficult to get a recent
version of PSPPIRE to compile. It's easier to get PSPP (without the gui) to
compile, but it required some changes.
There have, no doubt, been many backported changes to RHEL/CetOS since 7 was
introduced, but it was based on Fedora 19 and they're on f37 now. (Wow, nine
years ago... Doesn't seem that long ago.) The version of PSPP that shipped for
F19 was something like 0.79 or 0.84. So, you might have better luck using a
very old version of PSPP. For example, the RPM from f19 might work, but it will
be a pretty old version of PSPP.

Can anyone point me to a pspp instal link that will work for CentOS 7.9? We
are trying to get a new server loaded up with PSPP but having issues finding
one.

Once your faith, sir, persuades you to believe what your intelligence
declares to be absurd, beware lest you likewise sacrifice your reason in
the conduct of your life. In days gone by, there were people who said to
us: "You believe in incomprehensible, contradictory and impossible things
because we have commanded you to; now then, commit unjust acts because we
likewise order you to do so." Nothing could be more convincing. Certainly
any one who has the power to make you believe absurdities has the power to
make you commit injustices. If you do not use the intelligence with which
God endowed your mind to resist believing impossibilities, you will not
be able to use the sense of injustice which God planted in your heart to
resist a command to do evil. Once a single faculty of your soul has been
tyrannized, all the other faculties will submit to the same fate. This has
been the cause of all the religious crimes that have flooded the earth.
