Thomas,

What you are seeing is a bug that will be fixed in the next release, within the next couple weeks (the next version will be v3.0.4).

To see your version, type:

cat $FREESURFER_HOME/build-stamp.txt

And for notes on known bugs (issues) in current and past releases, see this page:

http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/ReleaseNotes

In the meantime, you might try this build of tksurfer, for Fedora Core 5, which has the 'glutInit' fix:

Dear List,

when I press the button to display the colorbar in tksurfer I receive the following error message, followed by a crash:

freeglut ERROR: Function <glutBitmapCharacter> called without first calling 'glutInit'.

There has been recent discussion about a 'glutinit-bug', but I could not find the solution for the problem in the archives. By the way: How can I find out which version of freesurfer I use? tksurfer tells me I use version stable 3.

Best regards Thomas Stephan
