Nick, It does seem that the freesurfer files are installed on my Mac.
Just some minor notes: 1) Bash/POSIX shell is not supported. 'source /Users/Shared/freesurfer/SetUpFreeSurfer.csh' 2) After changing to tcsh and resourcing 'source /Users/Shared/freesurfer/SetUpFreeSurfer.csh' the PATH does not include /Users/Shared/freesurfer/bin. 3) During sourcing, warnings are presented about MINC_BIN_DIR and MINC_LIB_DIR not being defined. If they are included with freesurfer, they should be set automatically, if not, the warning message should indicate where to get the package. I have not actually ran any data yet. Thank you for your help. Hans On 7/27/05 8:32 AM, "Nick Schmansky" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hans, > > Hello, Does your Mac OS X Tiger freesurfer installation work despite the > reported error?
