Hi, here is another short update about the FSL Debian package. The package was recently updated to a new upstream release (FSL 3.3). This release added a number of new dependencies. The MRI data viewer FSL cannot be compiled, because there is no Debian package of VTK 5.0, yet. I contacted the maintainer of the VTK package and asked for an update. Another new part of FSL is TBSS, see http://www.fmrib.ox.ac.uk/analysis/research/tbss/ Unfortunately, this part depends on IRTK, an external software that is non-free and even worse: closed-source. At least this is not a compile-time dependency. Debian users can use TBSS if they download the IRTK binaries from the upstream homepage http://wwwhomes.doc.ic.ac.uk/~dr/software/ Fortunately, another FSL dependency NEWMAT is on its way into the Debian archive (currently in NEW). Perhaps, as more people are using the package, it could be listed as an inofficial package in section 'medical imaging' on the Debian-med project website.
