Just do it before you try to run any of
the FreeSurfer programs. What issues are you having? I have
FreeSurfer installed on a number of Ubuntu machines.
Peace,
Matt.

Subject: [Freesurfer] installing
on ubuntu
Hello.
I am going to attempt to install FS on Ubuntu, but just
had a quick question before I start. On the Download page on the wiki site, it
states the following:
On Ubuntu, you will need to do the following:
cd /usr/lib
ln -s libtiff.so.4 libtiff.so.3
When exactly does this need to be done? I know this
probably sounds like a really stupid question, but I have had major issues with
installing FS and want to make sure I know exactly what needs doing and when it
needs to be done. So I’d really appreciate some insight. Thank you.
Kind regards,
