External Email - Use Caution        

Thanks Kiyotaka,

Unfortunately there's still a problem.  Perhaps some pointer isn't set up to point at the proper directory, as I'm getting:

Command 'freeview' not found

I  ran these commands first:
export SUBJECTS_DIR=/usr/local/freesurfer/subjects
export FREESURFER_HOME=/usr/local/freesurfer

And have tried starting off (using cd) in each of the above folders. 

Do I need to set some other environment variables?   
It seems that there may be some necessary steps missing from that initial "getting started" tutorial...

Dear Rafael,

I use Ubuntu 18.04, and installing libpng12 resolved the problem for freeview.
Copy and paste the below to your terminal and you will be able to run freeview.

-----
sudo apt install -y ./libpng12-0_1.2.54-1ubuntu1.1_amd64.deb

Hope this helps,

Kiyotaka

When I changed the permissions on the directory where FreeSurfer was installed and ran it from there, and all went well.  However, when I tried to display the results with Freeview, there was a problem:    error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0

This was a more serious error.  I saw some mention of this error occurring, but am not sure what to do about it.  The answers given don't quite help.   Somehow I need to extract a very specific library which I have no idea how to find.  I installed all this using Anaconda in a virtual environment.  I have several copies of libpng12.so.0 in various conda environments, but not the specific version that seems to be required by Freeview...

Hi Rafael,

 

Is your subject directory stored on an external drive like an SD card? The “Function not implemented” error implies that symlinks are not supported on the filesystem that you’re saving to. Ubuntu 18 definitely supports symlinks and I see that SUBJECTS_DIR points to /media/rafa…. You should process your data on the ubuntu filesystem first, then try copying it onto a card after.

 

Best,

Andrew

I was trying to run the command:  recon-all -s bert -all

It ran for hours, but finally output the following:

rm -f lh.white.H
ln -s lh.white.preaparc.H lh.white.H
