Hi,
I've run into a license problem with the latest version of Freesurfer on OpenSuse 12.3. 64 bit.
FREESURFER_HOME: /usr/freesurfer Build stamp: freesurfer-Linux-centos6_x86_64-stable-pub-v5.2.0 Kernel info: Linux 3.7.10-1.1-desktop x86_64
When running a test:
/usr/freesurfer>echo $shell /bin/tcsh

Thanks to anyone who can provide some insight or workaround. I'm also curious if anyone knows the reasoning behind using this type of license mechanism, as opposed to agreeing to a license prior to downloading, like FSL or 3DSlicer?
