[Mrtrix-discussion] Gzip patch problem

[Donald Tournier]

Hi James,

Looks like you extracted the patch into your home folder, rather than into
the MRtrix folder. Is this the case? Assuming you downloaded and extracted
MRtrix 0.2.10 into a folder in your home account, let's say ~/mrtrix, then
you need to cd into that folder first:
$ cd ~/mrtrix
before extracting the patch. Essentially, all it does is overwrite some of
the existing files in the MRtrix source folder, so it must be applied to
your previously downloaded & extracted folder. It is not a standalone
version of the code.

If that wasn't the problem, then I think you'd need to tell us more about
the problem, starting with a set of commands to reproduce the problem from
a clean download of both the source and patch files.

Cheers,

Donald.
