Hello, I do not have a list of dependencies. In trying this approach, I kept running into such dependencies. Rather than track them all down and list them, I simply installed everything. I would suggest that you keep with your approach and keep a list of the dependencies you find, it would be a valuable addition to this mailing list's archives. Be aware, though, that FSL can fail silently and in non-obvious ways. One such failure occurs when newer Linux kernels report that something like 'head -1' is deprecated and that you should use 'head -n 1'. This is a warning, but FSL sees it as an error. Under cygwin, this is particular issue is not a problem, but missing dependencies may cause this type of failure. I'm sure you've seen on this list that Linux is greatly recommended over cygwin. I would second that. Even more, though, I would suggest that your choice of platform be consistent. It is problematic for a number of reasons to try using cygwin and Linux FSL to analyze the same set of data. Specifically, the paths and links FSL uses are not cross-platform. If you have multiple machines analyzing data, make them as similar as possible.
