Fsl

This is about installing FSL.

SUSE 12.1 and CentOs 6.0:

# ls
fsl-4.1.9-sources.tar.gz  fsl_installer.sh
suse:/home/gosia/src # bash fsl_installer.sh 
FSL install script
==================

Looking for FSL tarball in the current directory...
***************************************************************
No FSL tarball specified, assuming you want me to install 
/home/gosia/src/fsl-4.1.9-sources.tar.gz 
from the current directory.
***************************************************************

Where would you like to install FSL to? [/usr/local] 

Checking OS release ...
[Failed] This is Linux and you have provided a non-Linux build of FSL!

Next try

tar xvzf fsl-4.1.9-sources.tar.gz 
./build  
cat build.log 
qbootOptions.h:77:27: fatal error: utils/options.h: No such file or directory

ok, the first line in build.log tells me libX11 is missing. Fixed.

Now there is a file ginstall not available. I think they mean install from the gnu fileutils.

CentOs 6

[root@gosia centos]# ls
fsl-4.1.9-centos5_64.tar.gz  fsl_installer.sh
[root@gosia centos]# bash fsl_installer.sh 
FSL install script
==================

***************************************************************

/root/centos/fsl-4.1.9-centos5_64.tar.gz 
from the current directory.

Where would you like to install FSL to? [/usr/local] 

Checking OS release ...
ls: cannot access ld-*.so: No such file or directory
fsl_installer.sh: line 660: [: -lt: unary operator expected
fsl_installer.sh: line 663: [: -gt: unary operator expected
[OK] 
Checking CPU type...
[OK] 
Checking install file...(this may take several minutes)

After you have done this, on CentOs 6, you have to

yum install compat-expat1

and you must install libjpeg and libtiff.

You call fsl with the command fsl.
