I am running Ubuntu 12.04.1, I have Perl 5.14.2 installed, I have also

I have the source files for PSPP 0.7.9.
When running "/usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL" for the Perl module I get the
following "error".
"Enter the location of the build directory of the configured pspp source:

Looks good
Could not open '/src/libpspp/version.c': No such file or directory at

I realize I need to give some directory of sorts but a 'locate' does not
find this file anywhere on my box.
Assuming I need to "compile?" PSPP first then I am stuck again as I have no
idea how to do this in 'dummies' steps.
I did some brief experiments today, and it seems that installing the perl module without the rest of PSPP is not as easy as it could be. Basically you are right, you will need to compile PSPP first, but you don't need to install it. At a risk of contradicting that sentence, you should follow the instructions in the file called INSTALL. However, to save yourself a bit of time and from having to install lots of things you won't need, you can pass various --without-* flags to configure, thus: ./configure --without-gui --without-cairo --without-libncurses make cd perl-module make install Hope this helps.
