Hi, I recently encountered a problem with tksurfer display (worked perfectly fine a couple of weeks ago). The only change I've made to my linux (centOs 5) system is the recent installation of MATLAB r2008a. Just a note: This was *not* a fun process since the MATLAB 2008a install required deprecated libs (e.g. libXp) which are no longer included with RHEL5.
Bottom line: the beginning of my tksurfer display problem does coincide with this process of attempting to install MATLAB r2008a. Although I finally succeeded in getting the MATLAB installed, is there a fix to restore tksurfer display to its proper functionality?
In descriptive terms, the tksurfer command launches a window containing a small sliver of the posterior region of the brain. Screen output is pasted below for calling up "bert". This morning I upgraded from freesurfer v403 to v404, but the problem still persists. I suspect I broke something in my RHEL5 while trying to fix the Matlab r2008a install failure.
BTW..."bert" looks fine in tkmedit (including aseg+aparc file)
Any ideas? Jenifer
