We're running subjects under the new 4.3.0 version (CentOS 4 platform), and are experiencing the following error during the cortical ribbon mask stage:

It appears that libvtkpng.so.5.2 does indeed not exist (in fact, no libvtkpng* files were found) in ~/freesurfer/lib/vtk/lib/vtk-5.2 for the current 4.3.0 CentOS 4 (32-bit) distribution we have, but found them present in our 4.1.0 (32-bit) and 4.3.0 (64-bit) distros . This may just be a case of "the missing libraries," but are they supposed to be gone? If not, are we safe to just copy them into the 4.3.0 vtk dir as a short term fix? Thanks.
