Hi Nick,
You probably don't recall but you were trying to help me sort out a few problems with my FS a while back. You told me to uninstall and then reinstall to hopefully see if the problem fixes itself. The problems I face now are with the installation, I followed the commands on the wiki site for installation and carried out this command:
tar tzf freesurfer-Linux-<platform>-<release>-full.tar.gz
this then showed the contents of the tar.gz file, I saw those all perfectly fine and then I moved onto the next command:
cd /usr/local tar xzvf freesurfer-Linux-<platform>-<release>-full.tar.gz
and I got the following error:
tar: freesurfer-Linux-centos4-stable-pub-v4.3.1-full.tar: Cannot
open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
Pedro and Allison tried to help, and I then found that I don't have permission to write in the /usr/local directory.

Fatima,
The current release, v4.5.0, no longer requires performing the 'libtiff' link. What other issues are you encountering?

Hello.
I am going to attempt to install FS on Ubuntu, but just had a quick question before I start. On the Download page on the wiki site, it states the following:
On Ubuntu, you will need to do the following: cd /usr/lib ln -s libtiff.so.4 libtiff.so.3
When exactly does this need to be done? I know this probably sounds like a really stupid question, but I have had major issues with installing FS and want to make sure I know exactly what needs doing and when it needs to be done. So I’d really appreciate some insight. Thank you.
Kind regards, Fatima
