I forgot to mention that I downloaded the freesurfer-Linux-centos6_x86_64-dev version (again 12/19/2013), and that other lib files, such as libjpeg.so files (related to install issues on some ubuntu systems according to the release notes) are stored in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ on my computer

Thank you,

Octavian

Dear All,

I have ubuntu 12.4, and downloaded/installed the dev (12/19/2013) version of Freesurfer (I used previously version 5.1). Installation was uneventful, including getting the return to command

...

source $FREESURFER_HOME/SetUpFreeSurfer.csh

FREESURFER_HOME /usr/local/fs5.3/freesurfer FSFAST_HOME /usr/local/fs5.3/freesurfer/fsfast FSF_OUTPUT_FORMAT nii.gz SUBJECTS_DIR /usr/local/fs5.3/freesurfer/subjects MNI_DIR /usr/local/fs5.3/freesurfer/mni

When testing Freesurfer with freeview or tkmedit bert commands, I get invariably the following error

'error while loading shared libraries: libnetcdf.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory'

Can you advise what I should do, including syntax (Gari has a similar problem, and he solved it "after reinstalling netCDF and updating the links (and some 64 bit packages missing too)").

Please let me know what else I should add/ modify after

sudo apt-get install libnetcdf6

and what other packages and links have to be installed/ fixed

Many thanks,

Octavian
