Mark,

I don't think dlcompat is required to run freesurfer. I am able to run it on a tiger machine without it.

There is a new freesurfer build for Tiger just posted on the ftp site. Its a .dmg file, which is a compressed installation package. After download, a .mpkg file will appear, and clicking on that will begin the installation.

The 'full' installation includes freesurfer binaries, support libraries and the MINC toolkit, all newly created on tiger from source. All install in /usr/pubsw/packages, thus Administrator access is required. The install location is not relocatable, as freesurfer depends on some fixed paths. A Fink installation is not necessary, as the support-libs packages includes everything freesurfer needs: jpeg, tiff, glut, tcl/tk, tix, blt and gsl.

The full install file is at:

ftp://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu

and the file is called freesurfer-Darwin-tiger-full.dmg

This is a work-in-progress, so I'd appreciate any comments, especially if it works for you.

Hi, I just tried a fresh installation of freesurfer on a new OS X Tiger machine.

Turns out that Fink is not longer offering the dlcompat library for download.

Can anyone wrap those binaries up and send them to me, or post them for download by any chance?

thanks so much! Mark
