[Freesurfer] recon-all problems [solved]

2013-04-15 Thread Marcos Martins da Silva

I had several problems testing freesurfer 5.2 installation, as
previously posted. Now it is all OK and I would like to share what I
could learn:

1- It does not work on Fedora 18 (segfaults with all tests with tkmedit,
tksurfer and  recon-all) that is due to a restriction imposed by glibc
(only newest version). Only freeview works under Fedora 18 but,  even
here, I got a misalignment problem among surfaces and volumes. More
details at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=905638
2- I got partial functionality using VirtualBox (4.2.8 and 4.2.10). I
cannot say about previous versions and the latest one (4.2.12 was
released on Apriil, 12th). But I had problems with both virtual machines
I tried: CentOS6 (fresh install) and the Xubuntu + FreeSurfer 5.1 vdi
file I downloaded from FreeSurfer website. Tkmedit, tksurfer and
freeview all worked but recon-all failed all time.
3- Fedora 17 and CentOS 6 work flawlessly out of box if you do not use
virtualbox. Probably, other distros will work too, except if they are
using the latest glibc (2.16-30). So my final setup is a dual boot
machine: Fedora 18 (day-by-day tasks) and CentOS6 (freesurfer tasks).
You can do it with only one disk but it is a lot easier with two. 

I hope it can help people with similar problems.

Marcos,

Thanks for looking into this.  We dont have a Fedora 18 system to
replicate the problem on, but we're looking at the section of code
described in bugzilla report.  We may need your help to test any fixes
we devise.

Marcos,

Can you give this version of tkmedit a try on your Fedora 18 system?

ftp://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pub/dist/freesurfer/misc/linux-centos6_x86_64/

you will need to copy tkmedit.bin to your freesurfer/tktools directory
(not the freesurfer/bin directory).  you may need to type this to make
it executable:

chmod a+x tkmedit.bin 

it contains a potential fix to the problem (but i dont have a way to
replicate the error to test it).
