External Email - Use Caution        

Hi Freesurfer experts,

I'm using redhat 7 so I installed the development centos7 version of freesurfer:

https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pub/dist/freesurfer/dev/

I followed the installation instructions and it is having issues with xcb from qt when I try and run freeview:

freeview
This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "xcb"
in "".

Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
Aborted (core dumped)

I have a previously installed version of freesurfer (6.0) that is statically linked to qt and it runs freeview fine.

I already tried setting the QT_QPA_PLATFORM_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable for my qt/5.10.1 plugins directory that contains xcb. 

Also see the attached output of ldd on freeview.

Do you have any other thoughts or actions I can take?


Thank you,
Emily
