Hi Ruopeng,

 

Thanks for taking time to answer my question.  I wish I can revert back to the early version of libraries Freeview uses.  Is there a way to figure out version number of libraries asccoated with  Freeview?  If not, I has to stick with freeview 2.

 

 

Thanks,

Xiaomin

Hi Xiaomin,

 

Freeview 2 was built against much older Qt and VTK libraries. But unfortunately we still do not know why the new version has problem with libXm4. Is there any way you can revert back to your previous libXm? From the screenshot you sent it appears to be some kind of rendering artifact, which could result from a lot of factors, such as incompatible libraries or graphics card driver.

Thanks for your response.  Why does freeview 2 work?

 

Thanks,

I don’t see freeview directly linking against libXm.so from Motif, though it does link against X windows libraries like libXmu.so and libX11..so.  You can see this with the “ldd” command  (some examples in screenshot below).   I don't think the RPM installer for freesurfer installs any Motif libraries.  I don't have any Motif libraries installed on my CentOS 7.7 image running under WSL that runs freeview/freesurfer.

 

Now it could be you installed some packages on your system that installed Motif and/or also maybe changed the X windows distribution libraries (as used by freeview).

Hi,

 

Here is the command I used in the freeview 3.0: freeview – f $SUBJECTS_DIR/LOO/surf/lh.inflated.    lh.inflated was created using FS7.1.  The freeview display is attached in this email.  The inflated brain is displayed correctly when I run the same command in freeview 2.0. (see attached).  

 

Thanks,

Xiaomin

Hello Xiaomin,

 

It might help for you to send along an example freeview command and file that demonstrates this issue in the WSL environment.

Dear all,

 

The Freeview (3.0) coming with fs 7.1 can not show any surface brain (inflated, pial, white) in a solid color.  The Freeview is currently running under WSL and was running without a problem until I updated libXm4.  Is there a particular library file associated with libXm4  the Freeview needs to run without this problem?

 

Thanks

Xiaomin
