Dear Paola,

I think the problem might be that your operating system ships libtiff.so.4 instead of libtiff.so.3 and that is why mris_volmask.bin cannot find libtiff.so.3.

As far as I know you can just create a symbolic link from libtiff.so.3 to libtiff.so.4. In case your libraries are in /usr/lib usually that would be the following command in the terminal:

ln /usr/lib/libtiff.so.4 /usr/lib/libtiff.so.3

Maybe also have a look here: https://mail.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pipermail/freesurfer/2008-March/007370.html http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Ubuntu/2006-04/msg02866.html

Dear FS list,

I am trying to finish my first analyses with freesurfer; however, I have some problems when running the last stages of recon-all.

In summary what I did:

1. recon-all –autorecon1 (worked well)

2. some minor brain strip editing

3. recon-all –autorecon2 (worked well)

4. some editing both of white matter and adding some control points

5. Now I have run recon-all –autorecon2-cp –autorecon3, but I receive

the following error (after many hours of post-processing):

mris_volmask –label_left_white 2 –label_left_ribbon 3 –label_right_white 41 –label_right_ribbon 42 –save_ribbon –save_distance “subject_name”

mris_volmask.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libtiff.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

recon-all exited with errors

Apparently, cortical segmentation has been performed, since I see in the stats folder both ?h.aparc.stats and ?h.aparc.a2009s.stats files. Which additional output am I missing because of this error?

Thank you for your help

Paola
