0.6.0 installation

[hippie dream]

I keep getting stuck at the configure stage of the installation. I keep receiving an error message saying:

"configure: error: C complier cannot create executable"

Does anyone have any ideas on this or even where I might look in the config.log to diagnose the problem? Thanks!

This message means what it says.  For some reason, the C compiler
can't create executables.  This might be because you have no C
compiler installed or another reason.  Try to compile a trivial "hello
world" program in C and see what happens.

I have gotten this error in the past, and I vaguely remember it having to
do with a lib that can't be found. Can you post a copy of config.log somewhere?

The problem is here:

configure:3423: checking for C compiler default output file name
configure:3445: gcc    conftest.c  >&5
/usr/bin/ld: crt1.o: No such file: No such file or directory
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I don't know why ld can't find crt1.o (it's in /usr/lib on my laptop),
but that seems to be the immediate problem. Sometimes detailed
problems like these are symptoms of larger trouble that I don't see
right away, so I will let John or Ben address that possibility.

For this specific problem, though, you could try 'locate crt1' and see
what happens.

Man you people absolutely rule!

I am so close (I hope) to wrapping this up. I have installed all the additional package, gotten past the "configure", the "make", "make install", "make clean" stages. I am fairly sure that everything worked corrently. This is where the install guide ends and I left with a command that simply leaves me in the directory (sam@rattail:~/pspp-0.6.0$ ). Ummm... What might you suggest I do now? Is it installed? How does one go about opening it then? I'm sure that this is ridiculously simple but one has to start somewhere.

Thanks again.

Sam

If you ran make install successfully, you should be able to start the GUI
by typing 'psppire' at the command line. Or, if you just want to run syntax
from the command line, if the syntax file is stored in 'syntax.pspp', then
just type 'pspp syntax.pspp' and the output will be sent to a file called
'pspp.list'.

You also might have a desktop icon somewhere. If so, you can run PSPP by
double clicking on it.

Worked like a charm! Pretty impressed with what I see so far. Thank you so very much. This message popped up after I ran this program in the terminal. Not sure what it mean but I have been able to seemingly do everything in the program so I'm not so sure I need to worry about. I need to ask about graphing but I suppose I'll start a new thread. Thanks again!

Hi Sam.  I know it's been quite a while since you passed along
this information, but: if you can suggest a way to reproduce
these messages, then I'd like to fix the problem.  Thanks!

Sorry Ben I can't remember how I even fixed this issue. I have completely switched to R at this point and haven't really thought about PSPP in awhile. Sorry I can't be much help.
