Dear Friedrich

In the mean time I have seen installations of the dmg package of PSPP on 
several Mac Systems including El Capitan and Sierra. Usually without problems. 
Even some students that tried desperately to install SPSS (we have a site 
licence) and failed in the end had no problems with the installation of the dmg 
package of PSPP.

The windows are displayed very small in the beginning but can be enlarged.

A general remark on psppire: For me the most urgent addition to PSPPire would 
be the integration of Boxplots and QQ-Plots in the Explore Window and/or Graphs 
Window. Second priority would be Mann-Whitney U-test.

I appreciate that PSPP actually does a QQ-Plot in the examine procedure in 
spite of the command "npplot": Outliers are better detected with QQ-plots than 
with PP-plots.

Thanks a lot for the port! It saved a lot of sweat and tears!

Regards,

Beat

Dear Beat,

thanks for your description of your experience with pspp on MacOS. As an 
alternative to MacPorts, there is a dmg package which can be installed the 
usual Mac way also for other MacOS versions.

See: https://www.hs-augsburg.de/~beckmanf/pspp/

Maybe you and your students could give me a feedback about your experience with 
this package.

Regards

Friedrich

Neither my IT support nor my students were capable to install PSPP through 
MacPorts. Therefore, I am very grateful for the mpkg packages prepared by 
Jeremy Lavergne up to OS X 10.8. My alternative suggestion to students with a 
Mac is to install an Oracle Virtual Box, a Lubuntu Operating system on the 
Virtual Box and then install PSPP from the appropriate Synaptic Package server. 
It seems that not all of these servers are fully up to date and I had to add 
the czech repository. At least on my Windows system it works.

BTW: Installing PSPP on Windows takes 2 minutes.

Thanks to the developers and to Jeremy!
