[Freesurfer] Freesurfer installation on Ubuntu

Hello FS experts,

I am trying to install FS on Ubuntu 9.04. I am testing the installation as suggested in your website, and found the following message when attempting to start the qdec application:

*********************************************************************************************************** qdec.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libtiff.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory ***********************************************************************************************************

I am new to Linux as well, so I would really appreciate step-by-step instructions to solve this issue.

Thanks in advance for your time, Miguel
