I suppose you got this file: ftp://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pub/dist/freesurfer/5.0.0/freesurfer-Linux-centos5_x86_64-stable-pub-v5.0.0.tar.gz

Are you using some Itanium or PowerPC based linux workstation?

Thanks for your reply. Probably just a reflection of my ignorance, but when I downloaded the program, there was only one archive for 32 and 64 bit platforms. And it looked like the installation instructions did not have any steps for the installer to be specifying whether they have a 32 bit or 64 bit machine.

 

Did I install incorrectly?

 

Jim

Maybe you are using the 32bit version in a 64bit Linux or vice versa

Hello list,

 

I recently installed freesurfer on a dell laptop running centos 5.5. After installing successfully, I ran the suggested test commands on the freesurfer wiki (e.g., tkmedit bert orig.mgz; tksurfer bert rh pial; qdec). All returned the same error: Exec format error. Wrong Architecture.

 

I googled this, and I noticed someone else was having a similar problem on August 9th 2010 and never got a reply from the list. I also saw someone getting a similar error in a non-freesurfer context, and it had something to do with their c compiler. My centos install is for the most part stock; and I’m not what you’d call a linux expert. Does anyone know what this is about?

 

Thanks,

Jim
