Hello all!

I know there are issues with freeview use on Ubuntu, but I hit a wall in fixing them.

I am currently getting this error when typing “freeview” into the command prompt:

“freeview.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory”

My current version of Freesurfer is: freesurfer-Linux-centos6_x86_64-stable-v6-beta-20161028-4cfbf2a.tar.gz

From the research I did online, first, I used these commands from this mail archive

https://www.mail-archive.com/freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/msg43219.html

then installed what was supposed to fix something similar from the wiki

https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/Download by doing “sudo apt-get install libjpeg62”

Now I have been trying to install “libpng12.so.0” or some variation on that, but linux does not seem to be able to find it.

Any help?
