Re: Acessing the GUI

[Andy Choens]

As a Ubuntu use, I can confirm what Ben said. The version of pspp in the 
repos does not include psppire. To get psppire on Ubuntu, you will need 
to compile the 0.6 release or use a binary someone else compiled. If you 
are running x86, I can send you a binary. If you are running 64-bit or 
Mac, I don't have anything that will work on your machine.

If you want the binary, I'll send it to you (off-list). But, this binary 
comes with a couple of caveats. 1) You'll need to install all 
dependencies by hand, since I was a lzay sod and didn't set up the .deb 
file to do that AND you will need to accept the risk that I did the 
compile. This binary may steal your soul or eat your first born child.

That being said, it works great for me.
