Re: [Freesurfer] invalid command name "PNG"

Xander,

Try using freesurfer-Darwin-tiger-dev20051002-full.dmg to upgrade. It should run on panther.

I can probably upgrade it without a problem. The machine is running Panther, so would you recommend freesurfer-Darwin-panther-v2.0.tar.gz or freesurfer-Darwin-tiger-dev20051002-full.dmg to try and install? (I'm guessing the first one, but I just want to be sure). Thanks very much.

    Xander,

    I haven't encountered this error message, and can't seem to
    track down
    its origin.  Is it possible to upgrade your 2003 version of
    freesurfer
    to a newer version?  If not, if you can email me the csurf
    file found in
    the $FREESURFER/bin directory, I might be able to figure out
    the
    problem.

            Hi,

            I've got a Mac box running OS X 10.3.9 and
            Freesurfer ,v 1.3 2003/08/05 19:
            19:16, and just recently when I start up freesurfer I
            get an error. To reproduce 
            the error I do:

                    source /Applications/Freesurfer/SetUpFreeSurfer.csh
            Setting up enviroment for FreeSurfer/FS-FAST
            $Id: FreeSurferEnv.csh,v 1.3 2003/08/05 19:19:16
            kteich Exp $
            FREESURFER_HOME /Applications/Freesurfer
            FSFAST_HOME     /Applications/Freesurfer/fsfast
            AFNI_DIR        /Applications/Freesurfer/afni
            FSL_DIR         /Applications/Freesurfer/fsl
            SUBJECTS_DIR    /Users/xmeadow/subjects
                    csurf &
            Application initialization failed: invalid command
            name "PNG"

            Then Freesurfer opens up normally.  I was just
            wondering what this error 
            message means.  I've looked online and seen that PNG
            stands for 'Portable 
            Network Graphics' (I think), but I don't know if I
            have it installed or if I need it 
            installed.  Is there something I can do to get
            Freesurfer to load without errors?  
            Thanks very much.

                    Xander
