I'm having problems running tksurfer on a couple Linux machines (they are running a modified version (MIT athena) of RedHat 7.1). Here is the output of the log window:
env tksurferinterface=csurf patchname= /raid-5/new_fs/freesurfer_alpha/bin/Linux/tksurfer -010719ao rh inflated -tcl /tmp/TmpTclSurf.3275 Couldn't create output file .xdebug_/raid-5/new_fs/freesurfer_alpha/bin/Linux/tksurferltMNIread: could not open file /raid-5/time/reconstructions/010719ao/mri/transforms/talairach.xfm No such file or directory tksurfer.tcl: startup done Window type not found! surfer: current subjects dir: /raid-5/time/reconstructions surfer: in subjects "scripts" dir surfer: session root data dir ($session) set to: surfer: /mit/nklab-5/time/reconstructions/010719ao surfer: /raid-5/time/reconstructions/010719ao/mri/T1/COR-.info surfer: Talairach xform file not found (ignored) surfer: vertices=126867, faces=253728 tksurfer: interface: /raid-5/new_fs/freesurfer_alpha/lib/tcl/tksurfer.tcl tksurfer: run tcl script: /tmp/TmpTclSurf.3275 surfer: single buffered window surfer: curvature read: min=-1.540000 max=1.190000 The "surfer tools" window shows up, but no output window appears with the inflated brain. This is for a subject that we have not yet Talairached. However, when I run csurf (and tksurfer) on the same subject on machine that has an earlier version of RedHat (ie, MIT athena) installed, everything works perfectly. The only difference in the log files between the two machines (of course ignoring the tmp files) is the line (for the machine that doesn't work) "Window type not found!". Now, it would be impossible for me to describe all of the differences between the two RedHat versions here (since MIT changes the default distribution radically when releasing new versions of Athena); however, the only relevant difference I can discover between the two systems is a difference in TCL-TK versions. For the system where tksurfer works, it has TCL-TK version 8.0.5 installed, while for the system where tksurfer doesn't work, it has TCL-TK version 8.3.1 installed. Do you know of any issues between these two versions of TCL-TK that might cause this problem? Or is there any clue in the log file that you might be able to use to point me in a new direction to look? Thanks, Nick Knouf
