John, I am more than happy to recompile pspp to get this working, but what would need to be changed? As I mentioned previously, I had set the TMPDIR environmental variable before compilation/installation, but pspp didn't seem to pick it up If I need to edit a file to remove the "tmpfile()" command as well, I would probably need help locating it.
As for WORKSPACE, according to the documentation online, it is an accepted variable, but it is ignored when the program is run. http://www.gnu.org/software/pspp/manual/pspp.html#SET (obsolete settings accepted for compatibility, but ignored) /BOXSTRING={'xxx','xxxxxxxxxxx'} **LIST EDITED FOR BREVITY ** /WORKSPACE=workspace_size Thank you again for the quick reply, James Smith ----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of John Darrington Sent: Tuesday, July 27, 2010 10:41 AM To: James Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: PSPP Environmental variables A number of people seem to have been asking this question recently. The short answer is that it's currently not possible without recompiling pspp. A Bug has been filed and will hopefully be fixed soon. You can follow the progress at http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?30530 Note also that when processing very large datasets, it will probably be worthwhile setting the WORKSPACE parameter (see the manual for details) to some large figure. This may even avoid the need for temporary files to be created in some instances.
