I thought CentOS 8 had been released last year?

     CentOS attempts close compatibility to Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL),
     so if RHEL doesn't ship PSPP, then contributions would go into an
     Extra's repo or some projects maintain a package for RHEL/CentOS.
     
     But Fedora is upstream and used to maintain a PSPP package (maybe still
     does; and it not using ancient versions of libraries like RHEL) so
     that's where I'd focus.
     
     I can take a look since it's been a long time. The last version of
     PSPPIRE that I got to compile on CentOS 6 (with considerable help from
     you) was 0.8.5, IIRC, and I think at the time we didn't think that
     CentOS 6 would ever support future versions because of the old libraries
     (including, IIRC, libc). That's fine, it's almost EOL, but CentOS 7
     probably isn't that much more advanced.
