Nick,
I have got libexpat.so.1 installed, but it will be very difficult to install both libexpat.so.0 and libexpat.so.1 at the same time on Gentoo. Is there any special customisation for the VTK libs necessary? Otherwise, I would try to use the VTK libs shipped with Gentoo instead of the freesurfer ones.
All the best,
Volkmar
Quoting Nick Schmansky nicks@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu:
Volkmar,
The libexpat you are seeing is a dependency via the VTK libs, so I will have to squash that in the next release. In the meantime, you will need to install libexpat on your system.

Dear all,
I've downloaded the latest freesurfer version (4.1.0) for x86_64 Linux. There seem to be some issues with libexpat.so.0, which is no longer available on my Gentoo linux systems.
The following files in freesurfer/bin depend on libexpat: freeview.bin libexpat.so.0 => not found libexpat.so.1 => /usr/lib/libexpat.so.1 (0x00002ac5281a8000) mris_volmask.bin libexpat.so.0 => not found orient_mri.bin libexpat.so.0 => not found qdec.bin libexpat.so.0 => not found scuba2.bin libexpat.so.0 => not found
I have scanned the freesurfer mailing list archives and got the impression that freesurfer 4.0.4 and above should not depend on depend on libexpat.so.0 anymore. I would be glad if someone could shed some light on this issue.
Yours,
