Re: PSPP Upgrade in LINUX MINT

Hi Chris,

i have made pspp 0.8.5 backport for debian wheezy. To build and install the 
package
you can follow the following path. Bernhard Bittner followed that way just 
recently.

cd
mkdir tmp
cd tmp
dget -u 
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/pspp/pspp_0.8.5-4~bpo70+1.dsc
cd pspp-0.8.5

Now you should check that the required package dependencies are installed

dpkg-checkbuilddeps

You have to install the missing packages via apt-get install <package>

The you can build the package

debuild -uc -us

Once you have the  <..>.deb package (one directory up), you can install the 
package via 

sudo dpkg -i <..>.deb 

if your username is listed as sudoer.
