Hi,

 I am using Readhat Enterprise WS 3 on an AMD 64-bit machine.  Here is my info:
%cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS release 3 (Taroon Update 2)
%uname -m
x86_64

Therefore, I downloaded freesurfer-Linux-centos4_x86_64-stable-pub-v3.0.3-full.tar.gz.

When I tried to untar the file like:
%tar tzf freesurfer-Linux-centos4_x86_64-stable-pub-v3.0.3-full.tar.gz

 I got the error message:
........
freesurfer/bin/mkxsubjreg
freesurfer/bin/mris_annot_to_segmentation
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers

gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--crc error

gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--length error
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

The installation stopped. Anyone has the same kind of problem?  

I downloaded the file in Windows sysem and then ftp it to my linux station. Does this matter? Or I need to download another file?

Thank you in advance.
