Re: PSPP and POstgreSQL

[John Darrington]

You will need to re-build pspp from its source code. 

However, it's odd that Ubuntu hasn't built their package with the PostgreSQL 
feature
enabled.  I suggest that you file a bug report in the appropriate Ubuntu forum.

     I am trying to get PSPP to take data from PostgreSQL and I have set up a 
file with a list of instructions on the basis of the top few lines in page 62 
of the PSPP Users Guide Release 0.6.0.  When I run the file (with the -i 
option), I get the following error message:
     
     error: Support for reading postgres databases was not compiled into this 
installation of PSPP.
     
     According to some installation instructions for PSPP, which I read on the 
internet, an optional package called libpq, from PostgreSQL, is required to 
enable PSPP to read PostgreSQL databases.  I am using Ubuntu Linux 9.04 and, if 
I refer to Synaptic, I have packages called libpq5 and libpq-dev, versions 
8.3.7-1, already installed.  Are these the ones needed and, if so, how do I get 
these to work in conjunction with PSPP, please?
