Thanks, Zeke. OK, that makes sense about the static vs. dynamic linking information. Good to know about the usage of UPX in case we need to 'decompress' at some point and use 'ldd' and get specific library dependency information.
The list of binaries/scripts came via the FTP download site here: ftp://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pub/dist/freesurfer/5.3.0-patch/ >From the 'Release Notes' page, it looks like the 'official' patches are: mri_segstats mni152reg recon-all Does that sounds right? And (going back to the original question) could we just overlay these on 5.3.0-HCP with no expected issues?

Jenny, May I ask were you got those list of binaries... Was is from the Release Notes page? I ask because we link to some "official" patches on the release notes page but we also frequently give people "dev" versions of some binaries to help solve a particular issue that they may be having. Those dev version are not official patches. Also, the release version appear statically linked because they get run through a utility called 'upx' which shrinks them but changes how the 'file' and 'ld' command process them. The binaries you mention below have not been run through that utility. -Zeke On 09/09/2014 01:09 PM, Gurney, Jenny wrote: > Hi guys! > > We would like to install the latest and greatest FreeSurfer on the > processing cluster used by the CNDA at Washington University.
