Hi Ali,

Can you please remove the MCR directory and install it using the instructions found at https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/MatlabRuntime? I think this will fix the issue.

Best, Andrew

External Email - Use Caution Hello,

I’m helping a user run freesurfer/7.1.0 on CentOS 8.1. They initially encountered an error due to the missing Matlab Compiler Runtime (MCR). I downloaded the package and installed it in the location suggested by the error message :

LINUX:

cd /gpfs0/export/apps/opt/freesurfer/7.1.0/binary_download

curl "https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/MatlabRuntime?action=AttachFile&am..." -o "runtime2014b.tar.gz"

tar xvf runtime2014b.tar.gz

After installing the MCR, I had to change all the subdirectories’ in MCRv84 to 755 permissions so our user could access it. When trying to run `segmentHA_T1.sh`, she gets the error :

[user@computer-name Subjects]$ export FS_LICENSE=/gpfs0/home1/group/lab/Software/FreeSurfer/license.txt

[user@computer-name Subjects]$ export SUBJECTS_DIR=/gpfs0/home1/group/lab/DATA/ANALYSES/Test/FreeSurfer7/Subjects

[user@computer-name Subjects]$ cd /gpfs0/home1/group/lab/DATA/ANALYSES/Test/FreeSurfer7/Subjects

[user@computer-name Subjects]$ segmentHA_T1.sh subject1

Unfortunately the only solution is to ‘fix the permissions’ without specifying which files and to what permissions.

Question: 1. Is there any resolution to this issue? 2. Is the Matlab 2014b compatible with CentOS 8.1?
