Sorry I don't follow. Whether operate pspp remotely? Similar to remote controlling/monitoring servers. I do it daily ssh-remote access the server. Now I already have pspp installed. It is now running. # pspp myfile.syn generating the file pspp.list. I can read its content on editor. # pspp --interactive myfile.syn displaying a table on terminal. But I can't sort out how to start the graphic interface mode as indicated on; "3 Invoking PSPP" http://www.gnu.org/software/pspp/manual/html_node/Invocation.html#Invocation > # apt-cache search libplot > libplot-dev - The GNU plotutils libraries (development files) > libplot-perl - perl interface to plot library > libplot2c2 - The GNU plotutils libraries > libploticus0 - script driven business graphics library > libploticus0-dev - Development files for the ploticus library > plotutils - The GNU plotutils (plotting utilities) package > > Which of them shall I install? > > Debian's package manager should take care of that for you. Just type > "apt-get install pspp". "apt-cache policy package_name" did not find them installed except "libplot2c2" However I found following packages on repo; libplplot9 pkg-config libglade2-0 (already installed) optional; libncurses5 (already installed) libreadline5 (already installed) texinfo But I can't find GTK+ and libhistory. Any advice? TIA B.R.
