Xander,

Try using freesurfer-Darwin-tiger-dev20051002-full.dmg to upgrade. It should run on panther.

I can probably upgrade it without a problem. The machine is running Panther, so would you recommend freesurfer-Darwin-panther-v2.0.tar.gz or freesurfer-Darwin-tiger-dev20051002-full.dmg to try and install? (I'm guessing the first one, but I just want to be sure). Thanks very much.

    Xander,

    I haven't encountered this error message, and can't seem to
    track down
    its origin.  Is it possible to upgrade your 2003 version of
    freesurfer
    to a newer version?  If not, if you can email me the csurf
    file found in
    the $FREESURFER/bin directory, I might be able to figure out
    the
    problem.

            Hi,

            I've got a Mac box running OS X 10.3.9 and
            Freesurfer ,v 1.3 2003/08/05 19:
            19:16, and just recently when I start up freesurfer I
            get an error. To reproduce 
            the error I do:

                    csurf &
            Application initialization failed: invalid command
            name "PNG"

            Then Freesurfer opens up normally.  I was just
            wondering what this error 
            message means.  I've looked online and seen that PNG
            stands for 'Portable 
            Network Graphics' (I think), but I don't know if I
            have it installed or if I need it 
            installed.  Is there something I can do to get
            Freesurfer to load without errors?  
            Thanks very much.

For this installation of Freesurfer, you would need to edit csurf to change the line '/usr/sw/bin/tixwish4.1.8.3' to point to your own installation of tixwish, which is not distributed with this freesurfer installation. The newer dev installation does include it though, so you may have better luck installing it.

Hi,

Since I'm running Panther I downloaded: freesurfer-Darwin-panther- v2.0.tar.gz and tried to set it up. I got it downloaded and I set up the SetUpFreeSurfer.csh file. But at the beginning of the freesurfer/bin/csurf file is the following lines:

# force local (next line not seen by tcl) \ exec /usr/sw/bin/tixwish4.1.8.3 $0 ${1+"$@"} # goto tcl8.3 #exec $LOCAL_DIR/bin/`uname -s`/tixwish4.1.7.4 $0 ${1+"$@"} # goto tcl7.4

I'm not sure what to make of them except that I get an error when I try to run csurf because I don't have /usr/sw/bin/tixwish4.1.8.3. Am I downloading the wrong file? Or do I just have the settings messed up again? Thanks very much.
