Hi Keith,<div><br></div><div>We have the same issue on some of our servers running CentOS. It is unfortunately a totally outdated distribution - even the latest release does not have package versions that have been available since at least 2007. In your case, it looks like your python installation is out of date (the followlinks option is available since version 2.6). You could get around that by removing that argument from the function call, i.e. change line 211 in 'build' from :</div>
<div><div> for root, dirs, files in os.walk (os.path.split(<a href="http://self.name">self.name</a>)[0], followlinks=True):</div><div>to:</div><div><div> for root, dirs, files in os.walk (os.path.split(<a href="http://self.name">self.name</a>)[0]):</div>
</div><div><br></div><div>While this would sort out that particular issue, I would be very surprised if it got you much further. I've tried on our CentOS 5.5 systems, and found that a few other required packages are also a few versions out of date... and gave up at that point.</div>
<div><br></div><div>So in brief, I'd say the path of least resistance would actually be to upgrade the OS to the latest version of Ubuntu... Would also recommend making sure it's got an nvidia card for the graphics, since the OpenGL support for these cards is vastly superior to that for other cards (I've just had another negative experience with an ATI card recently).</div>
<div><br></div><div>Another option is to use the Windows version, although I personally don't have much experience with it. Maybe Win32 users could report back their experience of MRtrix on Windows?</div><div><br></div>
<div>Cheers,</div><div><br></div><div>Donald.</div><div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 27 October 2010 05:53, Keith Hulsey <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:Keith.Hulsey@utsouthwestern.edu">Keith.Hulsey@utsouthwestern.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<div>Hi,<br>
<br>
My earlier question was about MRview on a virtual machine. I managed to get access to a Linux box that I can install software and update the OS on. The OS is CentOS release 5.5 (Final).<br>
<br>
After updating the OS to resolve the outdated libraries, I am left with the following response when I execute ./build from /usr/local/mrtrix-0.2.9.<br>
<br>
<br>
Traceback (most recent call last):<br>
File "./build", line 610, in ?<br>
[ Entry(item) for item in targets ]<br>
File "./build", line 154, in __init__<br>
[ Entry(item) for item in self.deps ]<br>
File "./build", line 152, in __init__<br>
elif is_library (<a href="http://self.name" target="_blank">self.name</a>): self.set_library()<br>
File "./build", line 211, in set_library<br>
for root, dirs, files in os.walk (os.path.split(<a href="http://self.name" target="_blank">self.name</a>)[0], followlinks=True):<br>
TypeError: walk() got an unexpected keyword argument 'followlinks'<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
What should I do next to prepare for installing MRtrix?<br>
<br>
