Dr. Fischl,

Thanks so much. Unfortunately, I had closed the window. But here is what happened:

I set the environment: setenv FREESURFER_HOME /Applications/freesufer

However, after typing the next command: source $FREESURFER_HOME/SetUpFreeSurfer.csh I got the following error:

FREESURFER_HOME: Undefined variable. 

I found an old post on the listserv with a similar problem, and directly copied the setenv command you had sent back to that user. I then got the source command to work, and the output was in line with what the installation website said I should get.  Of note, at that time, I used a regular terminal window, I believe.

A friend told me to 'echo $FREESURFER_HOME' to see what the path is currently set at. When I do that, I get a blank space. 

Thanks so much for the help!!!

Hi Missy,

yes, that sounds like at least part of your problem. What trouble did you have sourcing our env file? Can you send us the screen output?

Hi again-

I should have added that I am using Mountain Lion. I have downloaded Quartz
and when I work from an X11 window I get:
tkmedit: command not found

I had difficulty with the source command when setting up the FREESURFER_HOME
directory but eventually got it to work...not sure if this could have
something to do with it.

Thanks again!!!

      Hi,

It seemed I had successful installed Freesufer, but when I went to run
the tests I got errors with both tkmedit and tksurfer.

when typing <tkmedit bert orig.mgz> I got the following error: 

Couldn't create output file .xdebug_tkmeditGLUT: Fatal Error in
tkmedit.bin: could not open display:

when typing <tksurfer bert rh pial> I got the following error:
GLUT: Fatal Error in tksurfer.bin: could not open display:


Any advice?

Thanks,
Melissa
