Hi Peter,

Do you the following package installed from the Ubuntu repositories?

libquicktime2

If not, try installing it and see if that fixes your issue. If it doesn't,
you may need to create a symbolic link from libquicktime.so to
libquicktime2.so (or something along those lines).

hth,
Andy

Hi Alex and Andrew, please see individual responses below.

Alex: Of course.

At the terminal I've entered "export MNE_ROOT=~/mne
$MNE_ROOT/bin/mne_setup_sh

I get the response: MNE software location set to: /home/orcasha/mne
                                  MATLAB software not available

Then I try to run mne_analyze:
cd $MNE_ROOT/bin
./mne_analyze

and get the error:
./mne_analyze: error while loading shared libraries: libquicktime.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Andrew: I installed the libquicktime2 package (sudo apt-get install libquicktime2) but it unfortunately didn't help.

Thanks for your assistance so far.

hi Peter,

At the terminal I've entered "export MNE_ROOT=~/mne
$MNE_ROOT/bin/mne_setup_sh

don't the forget the ".' you should type:

. $MNE_ROOT/bin/mne_setup_sh

ie. starting with ". "

let me know if it works

Best,
Alex

Hi Peter,

Have you tried linking libquicktime to libquicktime2? See
here<http://askubuntu.com/questions/56339/how-to-create-a-soft-or-symbolic-link>
.

Hello again Alex and Andrew,

Alex: That didn't work unfortunately.

Andrew: I'm incredibly sorry to ask, but how do I do this? I'm not even sure where libquicktime is kept to be honest.

hi Peter,

do you confirm that you have libquicktime.so in your MNE/lib folder?

here is what I get on my box after configuring MNE:

$ cd $MNE_ROOT
$ ls lib
libgfortran.so.1 libquicktime.so lqt_mjpeg.so
$ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/cal/homes/gramfort/MNE//lib

what do you see when running

cd $MNE_ROOT
ls lib
echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Hi Peter,

I ever encountered the error long time ago.
Alex's email remained me of my solution to the error.

Hi all,

Thanks so very much for all your help. Unfortunately the answer was due to error on my part.

From Alex's response of . $MNE_ROOT/bin/mne_setup_sh, I didn't include a space between the . and the variable name...

Thanks once again for all the suggestions and I look forward to using this software.

Peter
