Hi Frank, the default pspp version in Ubuntu 14.04 is 0.7.9 which is quite old. You can install a newer version of pspp via the ppa from Adam Zammit. You need to do the following steps:
a) Uninstall the current 0.7.9 version sudo apt-get remove pspp b) Check your current version: fritz@ubuntu:~$ dpkg-query -l | grep pspp rc pspp 0.7.9+git20120620-1.2 amd64 Statistical analysis tool This is the version that will be installed when you run: sudo apt-get install pspp c) Add Adam Zammits PPA to your package sources: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:adamzammit/pspp d) Now update your source database sudo apt-get update d) Check that the new version is available apt-cache show pspp => You will see the two pspp packages 0.7.9 and 0.10.1 from Adam e) Install the package sudo apt-get install pspp f) Run the GUI psppire Could you try this recipe?
