Dear All,

I looked into the archives extensively but could not find a solution to

my

...

problem.

I am having Ubuntu " Linux administrator-HP-Pro-3330-MT 3.13.0-24-generic #46-Ubuntu SMP Thu Apr 10 19:08:14 UTC 2014 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux".

I tried installing

freesurfer-Linux-centos4_x86_64-stable-pub-v5.0.0.tar.gz.

...

But I get the following error message

mri_convert /usr/local/freesurfer/bin/mri_convert: Exec format error. Binary file not executable.

tkmedit /usr/local/freesurfer/tktools/tkmedit.bin: Exec format error. Binary file not executable.

I followed the instruction steps as given in freesurfer wiki. What am I doing wrong here?. Is there a installation wiki page for giving

guidelines

...

for ubuntu freesurfer installation.

Thanks, any help will be greatly appreciated as I am trying to install freesurfer for the past 3 days without success.

Thanks Venkat

Nick,

Thanks very much. I will do as per your suggestion. I am new to Linux and Ubuntu.

If I am not bothering you too much. I read an article where they compared the results from Freesurfer's different versions and about using different OS and concluded saying that use the same version and do not upgrade while in the middle of the study. My collaborators are using Freesurfer 5.0 and I will be helping them in processing the data (sharing the data processing and analysis) so is it ok to use use 5.3.0 or 5.0 is recommended.

Thanks very much again Venkat

Venkat,

Your system appears to be 32bit distribution, as indicated by 'i686' in your output string, but the freesurfer you installed is 64b, indicated by 'x86_64' in our filename. So you will need the 32b dist:

freesurfer-Linux-centos4-stable-pub-v5.3.0.tar.gz

Also, v5.0.0 is pretty old, I'd recommend v5.3.0.
