Hi Burkhard,
Thanks for the message but this does not solve my problem. I untarred as root in /usr/local, and as myself in /home. I also requested a new license file (which appears the same btw), and it does not matter. For all options I am still getting the same error saying my license is invalid (ERROR: Invalid FreeSurfer license key found in license file). Note that when I installed version 5.3 the license file worked fine (but I got the nu_correct) problem.
I am lost here as to what is causing this. I feel like going back to 14.04 may be the only way forward.
Thanks again.
Hi Niels, I also downloaded the development version recently. After untarring all files are mine (my uid & gid). Did you unpack the tar file as root? Then, I had to request a new license from the freesurfer team. Freesurfer did not accept the old license anymore. But that was it - now it runs again. And I did not see this mri_nu_correct error anymore. all the best, Burkhard -- Dr. Burkhard Maess Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences Stephanstr. 1a, P.O.
