Andrew, Answer to 1. - rename tksurfer_fc5 to tksurfer.bin. Beginning with v3.0.4 of freesurfer, 'tksurfer' became a wrapper script (which declares necessary tcl/tk environment vars and calls the binary tksurfer.bin, which was 'tksurfer' in older versions of freesurfer). Also, you may need to set the 'executable' bits on the file, ie:
chmod a+x $FREESURFER_HOME/bin/tksurfer.bin Answer to 2. - yes, unfortunately you will need to install libglut.so.3 for tksurfer to work.
