Hello,

This is a known when running freesurfer on Ubuntu systems. The solution is
addressed in the FAQ section on the frresurfer download page:

  https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/Download

pecifically, the solution is to go into you system's lib directory and
create a symlink as follows:

  $> cd /usr/lib/x86_64 (or something similar depending upon exact version)
  $> sudo ln -s libjpeg.so.8 libjpeg.so.62
  $> sudo ln -s libtiff.so.4 libtiff.so.3

This should solve it. Best,

-Zeke

Hello,
I am hoping some freesurfer experts can help - I can't seem to be able to run qdec or freeview as I get an error - "error while loading shared libraries: libjpeg.so.62: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory". I did run the command that probably links that library, but no luck.

Any advice or direction?

Thanks!
Ankita

Hello,
I am trying to run freesurfer on a machine I got access to that has Ubuntu (14.04) on it. When I run the tutorials and try to run qdec or freeview, I get this error - qdec.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libjpeg.so.62: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I tried running sudo ln -s libjpeg.so.8 libjpeg.so.62, but it says libjpeg.so.62 already exists. Any ideas? 
I ran tkmedit and tksurfer and those run fine - only freeview and qdec are giving this error.

Thanks!

Ankita
