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
