Dear Nick,
Thanks for your input re- installing FreeSurfer on Mandrake 10.2. Which of the two Centos distributions should I install? Or should I try one and then the other if the tests fail with the first?
Also, will the FreeSurfer tests that you have pointed me to detect problems with the fact that FreeSurfer looks for Tk 8.3 (I am deducing this from the mailing list posts), rather than Tcl/Tk 8.4 that Mandrake 10 (and presumably later versions) come with?
Thanks in advance, Narly.

Narly,
The Centos distribution would probably be the best choice. Once installed, be sure to try tkmedit and tksurfer, as shown here:

Hello, I would like to install FreeSurfer on Mandrake 10.2 (Mandriva), and would like to know which version I should download. The available versions appear to be for: CentOS 4, CentOS 4 x86_64, or Red Hat 9. Also, posts to the archive seem to suggest that Mandrake may not be an optimal platform for Freesurfer, and that it may be necessary to compile tk8.3. Unfortunately I am not a unix expert and do not know exactly how to proceed. I would appreciate any guidance / suggestions. Thanks, Narly.
