Re: Acessing the GUI

[Paulo S. P. Silveira]

I am a Fedora user, which installs psppire. However, I cannot use it.
PSPP's GUI starts, but it immediately crashes when I touch any menu.
When it crashes, Bug Buddy appears to generate a report that is
meaningless for me (copied below). For some reason it goes to evolution
and shows, in that report, my emails, complaining that it cannot find my
passwords. My Fedora 9 is freshly installed, so I do not think that it
is a Fedora problem. 

Please, can someone tell me how to make the GUI work for PSPP? I tried
to Google it to check if it is a known bug, without success. 

Thanks,
Paulo.
