Nick, Hi, I found what might the source of the problem and posted new versions of mri_convert and tkmedit.bin to this directory:
ftp://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pub/dist/freesurfer/misc/linux-centos6_x86_64/ before trying the new mri_convert though, can you try the following? cd <some writable directory> mri_convert $FREESURFER_HOME/subjects/bert/mri/T1.mgz T1.mgz I'm guessing it will segfault or print the license problem. Now copy the new mri_convert (from the ftp link above) to the freesurfer/bin directory and try again. It should work. You can then also try the new tkmedit.bin. Remember to copy the tkmedit.bin to the freesurfer/tktools directory and leave freesurfer/bin/tkmedit untouched (its a wrapper-script that sets-up paths to the tcl/tk/tix/blt libs, so tkmedit.bin cannot be run directly) Thanks, Nick On Wed, 2013-05-08 at 11:52 -0500, Nick Jones wrote: > Hi Nick, > > I included that just to illustrate there are no "cut" lines or newlines, it > is not the information I entered, but rather an obfuscated license file.
