We are still investigating. Are you experiencing the same crash?

Is this new freeview build platform agnostic? I'd be interested in trying, as this sounds like another instance of the issue I've been reporting:

Hi Ruopeng,
 
Unfortunately, still the same error (I did download the whole thing again yesterday, which fixed the issue last time, but not so this time):

Hi Liz, 
 
Can you try the latest build of freeview here:

Hiya.
 
I wasn’t sure if I should start a new thread or just add to this one (do let me know if I should start a new one).
 
I’m also getting the same error and also on Catalina (10.15.5). The first time it happened, I installed the complete FS pkg and it worked; I was using it earlier today, and now it’s decided to stop working again. So frustrating.
 
Btw, I have an up to date XQuartz app, I installed FS using the pkg option, open -a $FREESURFER_HOME/Freeview.app doesn’t do anything at all, nor does deleting the plist file.
 
Thought I would share that I feel your pain, Alex, and am looking forward to a fix (whenever it’s figured out what is actually going on—if it hasn’t already been figured out!) 😊
 
Thanks for the help, guys. 
 
Best, Liz

Unfortunately I can’t replicate the issue on my Mac so it makes debugging a little harder. I will send you a new build that  will write out a log file a bit later.

Hi there 
 
Sorry for confusing you two smart and nice people! 
 
I’m still unable to get Freeview to open reliably. 
 
It worked when I followed your instructions earlier today. I was able to load volumes and surfaces. Then I closed Freeview and was not able to restart it, either by clicking on the app icon in Finder (no crash report is generated), nor from the terminal. 
 
When I enter "open -a $FREESURFER_HOME/Freeview.app”, a window briefly pops up asking if I want to allow incoming network connections, then that window disappears quickly, then nothing happens. No output in the terminal. If I just enter “Freeview” I get the the same PETSC error I’ve been having all along. 
 
I rebooted my machine and still, it won’t work :( 
 
So, something is preventing Freeview from launching almost every time, but not every time. Damn. 
 
Let me know if you have any other ideas. 
 
Thanks
Alex

Hello Alex,

While I'm (fsbuild) and not Ruopeng, I don't mind being mistaken for such a smart/nice guy ;-) .  So I'm cc'ing back to the list so he and others can follow up.

It looks like you already have the commands to set FREESURFER_HOME and source the setup script in your $HOME/.bashrc file - as that information is printed out to the terminal after you run bash.  So there should be no need to repeat typing those commands in the terminal window (though it should do no harm).

I guess one question would be if it works for yo to do:

1) reboot your machine
2) start a new terminal window
3) type "bash"
.... see output from the freesurfer environment and then run the command ...
4) open -a $FREESURFER_HOME/Freeview.app

Then try loading a simple volume in freeview. (Under the freeview File pull down menu, select load volume, then you could try navigating to this file and select it, /Applications/freesurfer/7.1.0/subjects/bert/mri/brain.mgz - see screen shot below).

I think Ruopeng wanted to know if after the steps above, it also works for you to double click on Freeview.app in the Finder window and launch it (navigate with the Finder to /Applications/freesurfer/7.1.0).

You could try making bash your default shell with this command in the terminal window, so you don't have to type bash in step (3).

$ chsh -s /bin/bash

- R.

Hello again Ruopeng, 
 
I copied those commands into my terminal. To my amazement, Freeview opened successfully with the command 
open -a $FREESURFER_HOME/Freeview.app
 
It was also able to load a volume. And then I was able to start Freeview with the simpler command “freeview.” I can’t explain that.. The FREESURFER_HOME variable didn’t change, and my shell init script had already sourced SetUpFreesurfer.sh. 
 
However, I restarted my machine and tried again, and then Freeview wouldn’t open with either command, even following the whole sequence of commands you suggested. Then I tried again, and it worked. For some reason it’s only working intermittently. 
 
In response to your other question, when I double-clicked on the app bundle to start freeview, there was no crash report generated.
 
Below is the output to the commands you requested. Do you see anything suspicious? 
 
Thanks a million! 
Alex

​Hello Alex,





Did you try the install with the 7.1.0 release using the .pkg file installer from https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pub/dist/freesurfer/7.1.0/freesurfer-darwin-macOS-7.1.0.pkg
 
If you did not go thru all the security exemptions (not related to your firewall settings) on Catalina, then something may be blocked from running.  The install procedure to follow using the .pkg installer is under,
 
I did this on my mac running Catalina and had no issues running freeview..
 
- R.

Hi Ruopeng 
 
I tried deleting that .plist file, but it did not work, even after restarting the machine. The same PETSC crash occurred when I try to start Freeview either through the terminal or clicking on the icon. 
 
Thanks for your continued help, 
Alex

Can you delete this file and wait for a minute and then try starting freeview again?

Replace USERNAME with your actual username.

Hello Ruopeng, 
 
Thanks for the quick reply! 
 
I tried launching Freeview by double-clicking on the app icon, and I tried installing the latest build. The same crash occurs (full output copied again below. 
 
Also, I do have XQuartz 2.7.11 and it can run xeyes. And yes, FREESURFER_HOME and SetUpFreesurfer.sh both reference the current version 7.1.0. I didn’t see any LD_LIBRARY_PATH in my shell init file. Here’s what’s in my .bashrc file: 
 
% cat .bashrc



#set freesurfer directories and set up script
export FREESURFER_HOME=/Applications/freesurfer/7.1.0
export SUBJECTS_DIR=$FREESURFER_HOME/subjects
source $FREESURFER_HOME/SetUpFreeSurfer.sh



Any other ideas? 
 
Thanks, 
Alex

HI Alex,
 
Have you tried launching freeview by double-clicking freeview.app bundle? 
 
Can you also try the latest build from here?

Hello freesurfer team! 
 
I can’t get Freeview to start up on my Mac (Catalina v 10.15.15). 
 
It worked intermittently earlier this year, then stopped working. I updated Freeview, and then all of freesurfer, and still have the same  problem. So now I have this version of freesurfer:  freesurfer-darwin-macOS-7.1.0-20200511-813297b
 
Typing “freeview” into the terminal generates the following error:

I searched through the log of previous emails and found several others with “PETSC errors” but could not discern a common solution. 



Help? 



Thank you, 
Alex White 



PS: I also can’t get Freeview to launch on a linux machine, and will send a report on that in a separate email.
