Hi Martin,

In November 27 I posted a similar question, which later I found a solution. See if it works for you.

Hi Lilla,
Thank you for your reply. I have boost installed, yet it is not the version required (v. 1.49). Although, even after installing an older version such as the 1.41 it is not straightforward to use this libboost with freesurfer. The doc from libboost is not easy to understand and even if done correctly you will not be able to use this installation as there is no libboost_program_options.so.5. Nevertheless, I got it to work so here goes the solution that worked for me.
>Download libboost v. 1.41 and untar

>./bjam install
>cd libraries/lib
> ln -s libboost_program_options.so.1.41.0 libboost_program_options.so.5
>export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.../boost_1_41_0/libraries/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Cheers,
Andre Santos Ribeiro

regards

Hi Zeke,

Thanks a lot for explanation. I think I will install centOS into a virtual machine for quick solution. I only need it to run CVS.

Thanks and best regards,

Martin

One consequence of upx is that it changes the way the "file" and "ld" commands process the binaries. In this case it makes the "file" command say they are statically linked when infact it is dynamically linked. You can view this for yourself by running upx in reverse (upx -d mris_resample) and indeed you will see that it says dynamically linked.

I think something could have happened with when stripping the executable. I get the same output from file mris_rescale, but mris_rescale runs fine.
