Re: [Freesurfer] mac mghread and freeview error

Hi,

There is some issue with running freeview as an application package on macOS. You can try running it as a command-line from Terminal:

/Applications/freesurfer/Freeview.app/Contents/MacOS/Freeview

Best, Ruopeng

Hi FreeSurfer Developers,

I’ve just installed FreeSurfer on my MacBook Pro and experience several Problems.

1. If I generate a .profile file with the command to source FS as soon as I open the Terminal, nothing happens.

If I source FS manually it works (e.g. the extract below).

2. If I open Freeview, it crashes as soon as I try to load anything.

3. The command to target the subject sample „sample-001.mgz“ works, but the command to convert it doesn’t – e.g. extracted Terminal-Log below.

I’ve searched the list and found some similar errors, but unfortunately I couldn’t find working solutions. My Security & Privacy settings allow to open apps downloaded from anywhere.
