Re: [Freesurfer] binaries not executable?

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
