Andrew, Thank you for suggesting that. Turns out that's exactly what seems to have been the problem. Renamed the .license file and now things seem to be working. Not sure why there was even a .license file there, as I've been using license.txt as directed in the installation instructions and email with the license code, but oh well.

What are you naming the new license as? FS could be reading a hidden “.license” file in FREESURFER_HOME instead. best, Andrew > On Dec 7, 2017, at 4:35 PM, Angstadt, Mike <[email protected]> wrote: > > I am getting this same glibc message with Freesurfer 6.
