Hi Volkmar,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; we also had an exception thrown relating to libexpat (what does it do, anyway?), but we solved it <br>by creating a soft link between so.1 and so.0 in the same directory (can be dome with ln -s command on unix/linux,<br>
link what you already have, with what the software wants.. ) Seemed to work for us, up till now, i.e :-)<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Hope this helps<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; sid.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 12:30 AM, Volkmar Glauche <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:volkmar.glauche@uniklinik-freiburg.de">volkmar.glauche@uniklinik-freiburg.de</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

I have got libexpat.so.1 installed, but it will be very difficult to install both libexpat.so.0 and libexpat.so.1 at the same time on Gentoo. Is there any special customisation for the VTK libs necessary? Otherwise, I would try to use the VTK libs shipped with Gentoo instead of the freesurfer ones.<br>

The libexpat you are seeing is a dependency via the VTK libs, so I will<br>
have to squash that in the next release. &nbsp;In the meantime, you will need<br>
to install libexpat on your system.<br>

Dear all,<br>
<br>
I&#39;ve downloaded the latest freesurfer version (4.1.0) for x86_64 Linux.<br>
There seem to be some issues with libexpat.so.0, which is no longer<br>
available on my Gentoo linux systems.<br>
<br>
The following files in freesurfer/bin depend on libexpat:<br>
freeview.bin<br>
 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;libexpat.so.0 =&gt; not found<br>
 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;libexpat.so.1 =&gt; /usr/lib/libexpat.so.1 (0x00002ac5281a8000)<br>
mris_volmask.bin<br>
 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;libexpat.so.0 =&gt; not found<br>
orient_mri.bin<br>
 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;libexpat.so.0 =&gt; not found<br>
qdec.bin<br>
 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;libexpat.so.0 =&gt; not found<br>
scuba2.bin<br>
 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;libexpat.so.0 =&gt; not found<br>
<br>
I have scanned the freesurfer mailing list archives and got the<br>
impression that freesurfer 4.0.4 and above should not depend on depend<br>
on libexpat.so.0 anymore. I would be glad if someone could shed some<br>
light on this issue.<br>
<br>
Yours,<br>
