Hello,

I also received the same error message as Guang when trying to run tksurfer.
I added the suggested line to $FREESURFER_HOME/bin/tksurfer and unpacked the
files, but I still get the following error message:

surfer: current subjects dir: /home/freesurfer4.4.0/subjects/corinna/ADNI

I also tried setenv doublebufferflag 0, which also did not work.

Thanks,

Corinna
