Hello,
I am trying to configure freesurfer on our Ubuntu machine so that I can use
mri_convert to convert dicom files to nifti files for use in FSL. Our tech
guy downloaded and installed it and when I typed mri_convert in the
terminal, I got the help information. However, when I tried to actually use
the command I got this:
*$Id: mri_convert.c,v 1.146.2.5 2009/04/08 18:40:23 nicks Exp $
reading from I0001.dcm...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
ERROR: FreeSurfer environment FREESURFER_HOME is not defined.
 If you are outside the NMR-Martinos Center, please set this
 variable to the location where you installed FreeSurfer.
 If you are inside the NMR-Martinos Center, please source
 the standard environment. If you need to install FreeSurfer,
 go to: http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu*

So I looked up online how to configure freesurfer, followed the directions
and got this:
*-------- freesurfer-Linux-centos4-stable-pub-v4.4.0 --------
Setting up environment for FreeSurfer/FS-FAST (and FSL)
FREESURFER_HOME   /usr/local/freesurfer
FSFAST_HOME       /usr/local/freesurfer/fsfast
FSF_OUTPUT_FORMAT nii
SUBJECTS_DIR      /usr/local/freesurfer/subjects
MNI_DIR           /usr/local/freesurfer/mni
*
So I thought it was done correctly, but when I tried the mri_convert
command again, I got the same exact error.

I thought I might have been missing the license file, but when I tried to
copy the .license text file to the /usr/local/freesurfer directory, I got a
message that there was already one there (but I don't see it when I type
ls).
What am I missing or doing wrong?

Thanks,
Chaleece
