Hi david, I dont know if this will help, and i really do not know the reason why it should work, but if you append the tcltktixbli/lib, /usr/lib and /usr/lib64 on 64 bit version *in this order*, the tksurfer problems are solved. There will still be some unresolved issues with spurious events that will cause the window to refresh many times after each change (with autorefresh on), but other then that, everything will work. also, it help to do an ldd on tksurfer.bin, just to check that all libraries can be located (i.e you should not find any "not found" in the ldd output, in case you do, solve for that dependency before you proceed. ) sid.

Hello, everyone.
I just joined this list in order to post a problem our folks are having with tksurfer displaying brain images. What we are seeing is incorrect display of images depending on what OS tksurfer is run on. In one case, the image is never rendered because some kind of error loop is triggered. In all test cases the same data and Freesurfer version are being used (4.0.1) and the same display hardware and software are being used. The only difference is the host OS running tksurfer.
Here's what we are seeing:
Operating system
Result
Fedora Core 4 (32 bit)
Success
Fedora Core 5 (64 bit)
Failure (run away X errors)
Cent OS 5 (64 bit)
Failure (incorrect image)
I am wondering whether anyone else has seen this problem with this particular program? I'll happily provide as much information as I can to any request for further details. I have some images of the correct and incorrect displays but I'm not sure whether I can post attachments to this list. I can certainly provide them directly to anyone who would like to see what we are seeing.
Thanks for your help.
