Possible to adjust output formatting for stat procedures?

2009-03-11 Thread ErikF
When I perform a procedure in pspp (for example NPAR TESTS /BINOMIAL ...) the data come to the output window in F8.2 format. Is there a way to get greater precision? (Tried "FORMATS" command, but this only seems to affect how variables are displayed). Is this unchangeable, or may I apply something

Note: I also did an: "export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH" in root console just in case that was the problem. Evidently not as /.configure is still missing gtk+ etc... Hum, i guess gtk2 = gtk2+. Can you please send your config.log file? Maybe it shows us where the problem is.

SOLVED! Successful configure occurred after entering following in root console: export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH Verified the subsequent install worked as it does incorporate the new bugfix I was looking for. Frankly, it's not obvious to me why this worked. ;-) --

Re: Value labels or names in dialogs ?

2009-03-15 Thread ErikF
In future versions, would people prefer to see names or labels? I personally lean toward names over labels here. This is a mildly annoying feature I first noticed in spss. If you don't tend toward giving meaningful names to variables I suppose the switch to names from labels could be problematic,
