Ranjan, I installed Fedora21 onto a laptop. I then download and installed freesurfer and, after installing a few basic packages (tcsh libXcrnSaver), I was able to open freeview without any errors.
Which means the "library not found" issue you are encountering has something to do with your local environment. Either the filesystems you are mounting or the extraction errors you encounter when untarring. As Daniel suggests, you may want to confine this to your local disk. -Zeke On 04/15/2015 10:03 AM, dgw wrote: > Ranjan, > > You may want to try installing it on a local hard disk.
