Dear Nick, Thanks for your input re- installing FreeSurfer on Mandrake 10.2. Which of the two Centos distributions should I install? Or should I try one and then the other if the tests fail with the first?
Also, will the FreeSurfer tests that you have pointed me to detect problems with the fact that FreeSurfer looks for Tk 8.3 (I am deducing this from the mailing list posts), rather than Tcl/Tk 8.4 that Mandrake 10 (and presumably later versions) come with?
