Hi, again! It took some time, but I managed to figure out what is really needed from the source tarball and compiled it. I ran the test-suit provided by the upstream authors and everything went fine. So far, so good. Now for the nasty things: --> Filesystem Hierarchy Standard FSL heavily relies on environment variables. Under many others there is the main FSLDIR var. Almost all binaries and scripts assume the following layout: FSLDIR +-- etc (some config files, some medical imaging data,some scripts) +-- bin (all binaries and shell scripts) +-- tcl (all UI files) Now some questions and statements: 1. In my oppinion FSLDIR has to be set to '/usr' and all references to FSLDIR/etc in the sources have to be 'patched away'. Because there is no /usr/etc 2. Should all TCL files go to /usr/lib/fsl ? 3. There is a config script 'fsl.sh' that is required to be sourced before you can use FSL. How am I supposed to handle that? Include its content in /etc/profile? 4. I would put the medical imaging data to /usr/share/fsl I guess this is not the end of my problems, but these are all issues I discovered so far. I would appreciate your help. Ciao, Michael PS: I did not have the package online, as it is a pretty big one and my problems seem to be in a conceptual rather than a concrete state.
