Hi, I can confirm the problem with Fedora 18 is that former glibc version would accept unsupported salt values, but newer versions
of the library have become stricter. More details at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=905638

I can also say you can run tkmedit, tksurfer and freeview if you install virtualbox and create a Virtual Machine with CentOS6 64 bit.
 However I have problems with recon-all tests. Posted the following before and waiting for any help

Using a CentOS6 Virtual Machine (kernel 2.6.32-358.2.1.el6.x86_64) over Fedora 18 using VirtualBox 4.2.8. Tkmedit, Tksurfer, qdec and freeview all work great. But recon-all tests return errors. Thanks in advance for your help.

Did you try running the freesurfer CentOS6 version on the upgraded
version of Fedora?
