Marco,
Another user had a problem similar to this. I believe it has to do
with the FreeType library which gets used to create text characters
that are drawn on the volume slices to show the voxel and its
stereotaxic coordinate.
See if there is a file in your home directory named
".fonts.conf" (note that the file begins with a period so use the
command "ls -a" to see the file). If ".fonts.conf" exists, rename
it, start Caret, and see if you can import a volume.

Hi Donna and Hohn,
I am experiencing a severe problem with my caret installation in
linux: whenever I try to import an Analyze Volume file, my entire X
session immediately crashes, including all applications and I have
to login in KDE from scratch.
I couldn't tell whether the problem is limited to the Import
function only, because the system crashes so badly that I thought
it would be better to obtain some feedback from you before doing
some debugging. But all the other display functions of caret that I
have tried out (rendering surfaces, overlaying metric maps and so
on) seem to work fine.
I first encountered the problem a few days ago. I completely ignore
what could be the origin of the problem. I had used the same
installation without any problems before, including the Import
function. I have also tried to do a fresh install, of both versions
5.4 and 5.5, but the problem persists.
I did some updates of KDE and xorg recently, though, and I suspect
that the problem may have arosen since then. All other applications
run fine, though.
Also, I have installed the same .zip caret tar ball on another
machine and there it runs fine...
This is the kernel of my machine:
Linux bll4 2.6.11-kanotix-11 #1 Sun May 29 22:32:10 CEST 2005 i686
GNU/Linux
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Best,
Marco
