Thanks Jordi, thanks Krish,

The problem goes on.

I have checked my libtiff files ($ sudo apt-cache search libtiff) and have got exactly the same as you, Jordi. The problem is that libtiff.so.3 is not between them.

I also managed to do the symbolic link with sudo ln -sf usr/lib/libtiff.so.4 /usr/lib/libtiff.so.3. So, as I have 6 different lib folders I have created this libtiff.so.3 link in each one of them, cause I do not know where recon-all is pointing to.

So, these are my lib folders:
/lib
/lib32
/lib64
/usr//lib
/usr//lib32
/usr/ /lib64 

Only in those three folders inside /usr/ have got the following files:

pngtools - series of tools for PNG (Portable Network Graphics) images
libtiff-doc - TIFF manipulation and conversion documentation
libtiff-tools - TIFF manipulation and conversion tools
libtiff4 - Tag Image File Format (TIFF) library
libtiff4-dev - Tag Image File Format library (TIFF), development files
libtiffxx0c2 - Tag Image File Format (TIFF) library -- C++ interface
libtiff-opengl - TIFF manipulation and conversion tools

So, perhaps recon-all is pointing to libs outside /usr/, where I do not have these files. Should I paste them on it? And how can I do it by command line?

Please, any other idea?

Thank you very much

Daniel

Hi Daniel

You get permission denied because you need write permissions for /usr/lib ( wherever libtiff.so.3 is ).

If you think you have the permissions, prefix your "ln" command with a "sudo" and it'll ask for your password, and that should work successfully.

If you don't have permissions, you need to ask your system administrator to do so.

Dear all,

I’m using Ubuntu 10.10 and have the same problem only when working with 4.5 version (I also use 5.1 version without any problem).

I have followed previous suggestions making a symbolic link named libtiff.so.3, but it gives me back the message “denied permission”.

Also tried to install it with “sudo aptitude install ia32-libs” but it did not recognize “aptitude” command. So I tried with “sudo apt-get install ia32-libs” instead and it was ok, but I am still having the same problem.

So, what could I do? Can I download libtiff.so.3 from somewhere? How can I avoid that “denied permission”?

Thank you very much for your help.
