I will look into free view. I screen share with the Linux cluster, so I should be able to install and run free view. Thanks for your assistance.

Then I am sorry but there is nothing else I can suggest at this time. Getting various GUI based application to work and display properly over remote connections can sometimes be a difficult task given the all the variables involved. It is outside the scope of my ability to ensure this works for every possible configuration.
Are you sure you need the tkregister application? The various tktools within freesurfer are being more-or-less phased out and we are transitioning towards freeview, which contains nearly all the functionality of the various tktools combined into one application.
Will freeview open remotely?

So I did what you suggested above, where I verified via the ECHO that the environmental variable was set properly, and it echoes back y. But when I run tkregister it still gives me the same error.

The error you are getting is a very specific error relating to a compatibility issue between Exceed OpenGL and Mesa GLX. In every instance that I am aware of, setting the environment variable below has solved the issue. Please make absolutely sure it is being set properly before you call tkregister. Type the following before you call tkregister and make sure you get the correct output. $> setenv LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT y $> echo $LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT y $> tkregister2 -Zeke On 11/06/2014 02:58 PM, Nicholas Heugel wrote: > So the system I am working on only recently was setup, is it possible > the problem is that there is no LIBGL library on the system?
