Russ,
Hi, I'm wondering if you could provide more details on the failure that you encountered. Did an MNI utility, such as nu_correct, fail to run and complain about not finding MNI/Startup ? This is a typical failure if perl cannot find the MNI perl files.
Do you get the failure even after executing the statement:
source /Users/Shared/freesurfer/SetUpFreeSurfer.csh
This script will setup PERL5LIB to point to the MNI tools, which should enable them to work.
We are in the midst of preparing a new official release of Freesurfer to be released in about two weeks, and so your input is appreciated. The Mac Tiger version available now was prepared for a recent Freesurfer course, and could use some improvements in terms of making it a bullet-proof install on the Mac. I will consider moving the MNI toolkit to /System/Library/Perl/5.8.6 so as it does not require having to source the SetUpFreeSurfer.csh file to setup a special PERL5LIB path. Also, the current install path (/Users/Shared/freesurfer) is likely to change to something more reasonable.
Do you have any other suggestions or comments?
Thanks,
Nick
hi folks - I wanted to let you know that the tiger snapshot installer for mac doesn't properly install the perl libraries needed for some of the MNI tools. I was able to get things to work by copying the relevant files into /System/Library/Perl/5.8.6, but I assume that you want the installer to do this automagically.
cheers russ
