Patrice,
The freesurfer installation includes tcl/tk/tix/blt and gsl, in the $FREESURFER_HOME/libs directory, and the setup script, $FREESURFER_HOME/SetUpFreeSurfer.csh, will setup the paths to these. What is the output when you type:
source $FREESURFER_HOME/SetUpFreeSurfer.csh
and what Linux platform are you using?
Lastly, what is the output of:
ldd `which tkmedit`

In testing:
$ /usr/local/freesurfer/bin/tkmedit /usr/local/freesurfer/bin/tkmedit: error while loading shared libraries: libtix8.1.8.3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
$ sudo rpm -Uvh glut-3.7-12.i386.rpm itcl-3.2-88.i386.rpm tix-8.1.4-88.i386.rpm
/usr/local/freesurfer/bin/tkmedit: error while loading shared libraries: libtk8.4.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I have tk-8.3.5-92 installed and thus /usr/lib/libtk8.3.so.
When i tried to install tk-8.4.5-8.i386.rpm, I ran into a dependency conflict problem:
error: Failed dependencies: libtcl8.4.so is needed by tk-8.4.5-8 tcl = 8.4.5 is needed by tk-8.4.5-8 libtk8.3.so is needed by (installed) tix-8.1.4-88 tk = 8.3.5-92 is needed by (installed) tk-devel-8.3.5-92 libitcl3.2.so is needed by (installed) tix-8.1.4-88 libitk3.2.so is needed by (installed) tix-8.1.4-88 itcl is needed by (installed) tix-8.1.4-88
I tried to install tcl-8.4.5-7.i386.rpm, and got another slew of deps:
error: Failed dependencies: libtcl8.3.so is needed by (installed) expect-5.38.0-92 libtcl8.3.so is needed by (installed) tk-8.3.5-92 libtcl8.3.so is needed by (installed) tix-8.1.4-88 tcl = 8.3.5-92 is needed by (installed) tcl-devel-8.3.5-92 libitcl3.2.so is needed by (installed) tix-8.1.4-88 libitk3.2.so is needed by (installed) tix-8.1.4-88 itcl is needed by (installed) tix-8.1.4-88
so then i tried to force the install. --nodeps for both of the above.
then i tried again:
$ /usr/local/freesurfer/bin/tksurfer /usr/local/freesurfer/bin/tksurfer: error while loading shared libraries: libGLU.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
which is included in xorg-x11. after installing xorg:
/usr/local/freesurfer/bin/tksurfer: error while loading shared libraries: libgsl.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
so I installed: gsl-1.1.1-5.i386.rpm
then:
/usr/local/freesurfer/bin/tksurfer: error while loading shared libraries: libitk3.2.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
which I already installed, and when i installed again, it is asking for libtk8.3.so again, which was overridden with nodeps.
Now, I installed the version 3.0.3 that said is compatible with redhat 9, which is close to what I am running, can you offer any suggestions?
Thanks, Patrice
