Dear mr. Zeien,
   thanks again for your help on my effort to install brains.
   I have managed to get the program running - but not on my own computer!
   I finally gave up and went to work to install it on my workcomputer. Doing the exakt same thing as at home I get the program to work. I´m very confused. My home computer is more modern and faster than the one I have at  work and stil I can´t get my home computer work.

   I tryied to install the hole cygwin again and the install brains on this  - but no luck

   If you have any idé what can be wrong please tell me - else I just have to make some time at work learing the program

   thanks again for all your help

   Yous sincerly
   Olof Lindberg

   Reinstalling brains2 may help. Cygwin support is rather limited, we have one person
who works on it part-time. I found a previous version, which will probably have
different issues...

http://www.psychiatry.uiowa.edu/users/gene/brains2-cygwin-beta-3-21-2004.tar.gz

I know this one doesn't support nifti. I doubt if the one you acquired does either.
We just got NIFTI support working properly in our Linux version this month.
/opt/brains2/lib/libconnectBrainsItkTcl.so does not exist on my computer either :-)
I do not know why BRAINS2 still wants to use that... The absence of that library
does not seem to have any effect.

In the manual it says that I should download : Brains2_cygwin.tar.gz. I can´t find this file however the only one that has cygwin in the name is called something like: Brains2_cygwin_DEBUG_2005.....

>>I become a bit confused. I looked at the different suggetions you gave me and as far as I can tell I have a working program here. I made another effort converting an image to dicom - and suddenly I could at least open the image. I still get a problem messages and I am not able to do much with the image since the program do not seem to completely accept it. However I have done som checking - If I write strict analyze at cygwin prompt I can see that the program recognize the command since I get a lot of different options.
