Sorry I don't follow.  Whether operate pspp remotely?  Similar to
remote controlling/monitoring servers.  I do it daily ssh-remote access
the server.


Now I already have pspp installed.  It is now running.

# pspp myfile.syn
generating the file pspp.list.  I can read its content on editor.


# pspp --interactive myfile.syn

displaying a table on terminal.  But I can't sort out how to start the
graphic interface mode as indicated on;

"3 Invoking PSPP"

"apt-cache policy package_name"

did not find them installed except "libplot2c2"


However I found following packages on repo;
libplplot9
pkg-config
libglade2-0 (already installed)


optional;
libncurses5 (already installed)
libreadline5 (already installed)
texinfo


But I can't find GTK+ and libhistory.  Any advice?  TIA
