Re: [Freesurfer] freeview fault: PETSC Error ... PERSISTENT

10 Nov 2014

      Hi Nick,
I downloaded the most recent version of freeview.bin using wget as you suggested and ran it on two different machines.
It appeared to load a volume file fully whereas before it was crashing when showing it had loaded only 1%.
But it still crashes after that with the message below my signature.
I tried a few different .mgz files including the original one with the same result.  Both the machines on which I ran it have 8 GBytes of RAM.  Any other thoughts would be welcome.
Regards,
Don

you can try downloading our nightly 'dev' build of freeview, from here:
...
...
https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/Download
...
...
or here's a quicker way (this is a one-line command... wget <file>):
...
...
wget

ftp://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pub/dist/freesurfer/freeview/linux_centos6_xftp://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pub/dist/freesurfer/freeview/linux_centos6_x86_64/freeview.bin
...
86_64/freeview.binftp://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pub/dist/freesurfer/freeview/linux_centos6_x86_64/freeview.bin
...
...
and copy it to $FREESURFER_HOME/bin
...
then
...
chmod a+x $FREESURFER_HOME/bin/freeview.bin

freeview starts up fine but fails on loading a volume file with the

I found several references to this error in the archive but no

Any thoughts would be welcome – thanks.
