Hi Doug,

Sorry for being slow in responding.  Here's the output of the command:

freesurfer-Linux-centos4_x86_64-stable-pub-v5.0.0

when I call the uname -m command I don't get an output of x86_64, however.  It comes up as i686...

Can you send the result of
cat $FREESURFER_HOME/build-stamp.txt

Oh sorry.  I downloaded the CentOS 64-bit linux file, which should match my platform...

   Can you be more specific? Which file in particular? We have
   different distributions for different platforms. If you downloaded
   one that does not match your platform then it will generate that
   error.

       I downloaded version 5, and installed it into my home
       directory, as opposed to user/local... I don't know if that's
       an issue or not

              Hi All,

              I've just installed freesurfer onto a linux node, and
              immediately encountered a problem when trying to run my
       first
              scan.  After executing the recon-all command, the terminal
              spits out a string of errors saying:

              [freesurfer home path]/mri_convert: Exec format error.
        Binary
              file not executable

              It does this for every binary which is called upon
       executing
              recon-all and exits with errors.  Any idea what's
       wrong? Thanks,

              Nathan
