Hello FreeSurfer experts,
I recently downloaded and installed FreeSurfer on my Mac computer, but I have a few questions about the startup.
1. When I run FreeSurfer, I get the following. I know the Wiki says to ignore the warning, and FreeSurfer does run normally after this, but I wanted to be sure it really was not a problem.

2. When I type in 'freeview' to the command line, I get several other messages as the program opens. I am not sure if they are a problem, but here they are. I seem to be able to run freeview despite these messages, but some others have told me that these messages do not appear on their computers, so I am wondering why they appear.

3. And my last question. How do I run FreeSurfer automatically when I open the terminal window? I would like to just type 'freeview' into the command line to have the program run, but I currently have to type
setenv FREESURFER_HOME Applications/freesurfer/
followed by
source Applications/freesurfer/SetUpFreeSurfer.csh
in order for the program to run.
Thank you so much for any help you can give! Like I said, the program appears to run normally despite the messages, but I just want to know why they are appearing. The last question is more of a convenience issue.
Thanks, David
