Our computational core recently updated their Linux systems to CentOS 6.6. When they did so, the version of fslview that comes with fsl 5.0.8 started throwing segmentation faults when launched. As a workaround we can use fslview 3.1.8 that came with fsl 4.1.9, but this is not optimal.
The sys admin seems to think the problem is with the fslview code, rather than a local dependency. Could someone please read his comments (below) and tell me what you think?
Thanks,
Ruskin
======= From the Sys. Admin. ============
I have tried several different compile attempts of fslview using different
libraries, but none of them have produced a stable fslview executable. It
appears to have been designed a while ago and infrequently updated; it looks
for QT version 3.xx (current version is 5.4.0), and QWT version 4.2.xx (current
version is 6.1.2), and VTK 5.0.xx (current version is 6.2.0). I have tried to
patch it up with our old versions of these libraries, but I haven't been able
to get an executable that works.
If we can't compile it ourselves the other option is to use a binary which they
provide. I tried installing the pre-compiled version they supply for centos6,
but this version of fslview also segfaults immediately. This version it is
available via the module fsl/5.0.8-centos6_64 (but fslview still segfaults with
this new version).
I am now pretty sure that fslview is not compatible with our OS after we
upgraded to centos 6.6. I think the break is permanent on our Linux systems
until the vendor releases updated code or an updated executable.
