Hi All,

I am attempting to build and run freeview on Mac OS X 10.6.1 and am having problems with freeview crashing on startup. From gdb, the crash is the following:

Program received signal EXC_BAD_ACCESS, Could not access memory. Reason: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at address: 0x00000000 0x00000000 in ?? () (gdb) backtrace #0 0x00000000 in ?? () #1 0x02b148c0 in vtkOpenGLRenderWindow::OpenGLInit () #2 0x02b391a9 in vtkCarbonRenderWindow::CreateAWindow () #3 0x02b37fa4 in vtkCarbonRenderWindow::WindowInitialize () #4 0x02b36435 in vtkCarbonRenderWindow::Start () #5 0x02a9d1db in vtkRenderWindow::DoStereoRender () #6 0x02a9d3a9 in vtkRenderWindow::DoFDRender () #7 0x02a9d832 in vtkRenderWindow::DoAARender () #8 0x02a9bc54 in vtkRenderWindow::Render () #9 0x00130417 in wxVTKRenderWindowInteractor::OnPaint (this=0x1d05aa00) at wxVTKRenderWindowInteractor.cpp:409

I am on Mac OS X 10.6.1 and build the freesurfer tree using the following settings:

CFLAGS=-m32 CXXFLAGS=-m32 LDFLAGS=-m32

./configure --disable-Wall --disable-Werror --prefix=/chb/freesurfer/ x86_64-Darwin/packages/freesurfer/dev/ --with-wxwidgets-dir=/usr/pubsw/ packages/wxWidgets/wxMac-2.8.10/

I have the /usr/pubsw tree mapped to /space/lyon/9/pubsw/MacOS10.5- i686 on the NMR network (for what it's worth, I have also tried building all of freesurfer with all of the dependent libraries installed locally and ran into the same issue). When I try running the same executable on a Mac OS X 10.5.8 machine I get the following different error:

LSOpenFromURLSpec() failed with error -10810 for the file /chb/ freesurfer/x86_64-Darwin/packages/freesurfer/dev/bin/Freeview.app.

I have not had any luck resolving the errors on either system. Some help from someone who has successfully run freeview on the Mac would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
