I have built CPSeis a few times with Debian. New versions come approximately every 2 years. The latest version popped up 4 weeks ago. I found it to be rather fussy:
mpich3 is required, mpich2 or openmpi will not build
Oracle Java version 6 to 8 is required, as openjdk-8 has been removed
Plasma or XFCE desktops are required, as the X11 programs crash in Gnome, MATE or LXQT desktops.
