Hi;
I'm Ozgun Ozalay, researcher at Ege University/Turkey. One of my friends recommended FreeSurfer's "mri_convert" program to convert my Siemens .IMA files to a more common format .nii.
i've downloaded freesurfer from your wiki pages and made my registration too. i've recieved an e-mail with details of my license. Upon installing "freesurfer" to /home/ozgun/AnV/freesurfer i configured enviroment too as described in wiki with bash shell;
/export FREESURFER_HOME=/home/ozgun/freesurfer/
/source $FREESURFER_HOME/SetUpFreeSurfer.sh/
I recieved no errors during this process.
/source /home/ozgun/AnV/freesurfer/SetUpFreeSurfer.sh/
/-------- freesurfer-Linux-centos4_x86_64-stable-pub-v4.3.0 --------/
/Setting up environment for FreeSurfer/FS-FAST (and FSL)/
/FREESURFER_HOME /home/ozgun/AnV/freesurfer//
/FSFAST_HOME /home/ozgun/AnV/freesurfer//fsfast/
/FSF_OUTPUT_FORMAT nii/
/SUBJECTS_DIR /home/ozgun/AnV/freesurfer//subjects/
/MNI_DIR /home/ozgun/AnV/freesurfer//mni/
/FSL_DIR /home/ozgun/AnV/FSL/fsl/
But when i try to execute "mri_convert" it says my license isn't ok.
/ozgun@linux-dkvs:~/AnV/freesurfer/bin> ./mri_convert /home/ozgun/AnV/orn.IMA/
//home/ozgun/orn.nii/
/./mri_convert /home/ozgun/AnV/orn.IMA /home/ozgun/orn.nii/

/ERROR: Invalid FreeSurfer license key found in license file/
//home/ozgun/AnV/freesurfer/.license/
/If you are outside the NMR-Martinos Center,/
/go to http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu to/
/get a valid license file (it's free)./
/If you are inside the NMR-Martinos Center,/
/make sure to source the standard environment./
/--------------------------------------------------------------------------/
/
/ I created ".license" file in my freesurfer home directory (/home/ozgun/AnV/freesurfer) and pasted 3 lines from your e-mail to this empty document and saved. Also attaching the .license file i've created.
Did i do something wrong?
By the way, i'm using OpenSuse 11.1 with kernel 2.6.27.21-0.1-default, KDE 4.1 as desktop enviroment.
Thanks anyway ;)
