Chris,

yes, the centos5 build freesurfer 5.1 will work on centos6 (we use it in-house). when the v5.2 release of freesurfer is ready (hopefully at the end of may) you will want to use the centos6 build, as it will get a bit better performance because of the compiler and some openmp options.

H i Nick, Will the centos5 build of v5.1 work with centos6? I'm getting a new workstation and want to know which version of centos is better to install.

Wil,

Hi, the contents of that 'misc' directory is just a filedrop of sorts to supply fixes to individuals who need particular updates. We dont supply formal patches, as it gets too unwieldy to track versions. Rather bug fixes are documented (mostly!) on the ReleaseNotes page with links to fixes.

We have a centos6 build, but dont release it. We will for the next release, v5.2, hopefully by the end of May, as the centos6 build runs a little faster than the centos4/5 build because it uses a newer gcc, but this will mean it wont be possible to mix versions, and a centos6 platform (or kernel 2.6.32-220.7.1.el6.x86_6) will be needed.

mri_info versioning wont affect the stream. i dont think it has any bug fixes outstanding.

i think the trac-all script is the same, the versioning is different because our 'dev' tree version was committed to our 'stable' branch, and the two have different versions (but the file is the same).

Hi-

It would appear the stable release for centos6 is ready for primetime 'stable5.1-bin.tgz'; Is this correct? There is an updated version of 'mri_info' based on file size (ftp://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pub/dist/freesurfer/misc/linux-centos6_x86_64/).

mri_info in 'stable5.1-bin.tgz': 9787048 04-Oct-2011 13:45 mri_info outside of 'stable5.1-bin.tgz': 9866032 04-Oct-2011 11:32

Which version is the most current?

Can the contents of 'stable5.1-bin.tgz' be extracted into /freesurfer/bin to overwrite the extant files?

Additionally, there is a versioning discrepancy between 'trac-all' located in (http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pub/dist/freesurfer/misc/allplatforms/)

'$Id: trac-all,v 1.35 2011/09/02 19:19:22 ayendiki Exp $'a

and the version packaged with the cenos6_x86_65 'stable5.1-bin.tgz'

'$Id: trac-all,v 1.22.2.9 2011/09/02 19:21:03 ayendiki Exp $'

I did not comprehensively look for any other discrepancies-these just happened to stand out based on the work I was doing today.

Thanks much, Wil
