Hi guys!

 

We would like to install the latest and greatest FreeSurfer on the processing cluster used by the CNDA at Washington University.  We’re thinking about installing the 5.3.0-HCP, and then over that, the released 5.3.0 patches.  We’re looking for verification that doing the install this way makes sense and that these two code sets don’t conflict in any way.

 

We know that the 5.3.0-HCP version updates the mris_make_surfaces, however, the patches do not include that update, which is why we are thinking about starting with 5.3.0-HCP as the base install.  Note that this is being done on CentOS 6.x

 

The currently available patches seem to include:

 

mni152reg

mri_mcsim

mri_segstats

recon-all

tksurfer-sess

tksurferfv

 

Is that a complete list or did we miss some binaries/scripts?

 

Also, it seems that the ‘patch’ binaries are dynamically linked, while the release binaries are statically linked.  Besides dependency issues, could this cause an issue with results consistency, etc. if other system libraries get updated?

 

Thanks, guys.  Hope all is well.
