FreeSurfer Faq-O-Matic : Troubleshooting :
When trying to run tkmedit or tksurfer, I get the error: error while loading shared libraries
This is because FS source apparently tries to link to very specific versions of some libraries. In all likelihood you have the required libraries on your machine, and simply need to create a link to them.
Eg: your machine might have:
libglut.so.9
libglut.so --> a sym link to libglut.so.9
So just add a link called:
libglut.so.3 pointing to libglut.so.9
It is possible your machine actually doesn'thave some library or another, in which case you'll have to track it down and install it.
Alternatively, you can try the static versions of the viewing programs, tkmedit.static or tksurfer.static.

tksurfer (surface viewing) or tkmedit (volume viewing) doesn't start.
