Problems with installation

AFNI Message Board

Hello AFNI experts,

I am trying to install AFNI on my Mac Monterey with the M1 chip, and got stuck on fixing errors returned from the check command. Especially for the “missing R packages,” since I am pretty true that I have R installed.

Here are the results:

** env var DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH is not set to contain /opt/X11/lib/flat_namespace
(so afni and suma may fail)

========================= summary, please fix: =========================

  • just be aware: login shell ‘bash’, but our code examples use ‘tcsh’
  • missing R packages (see rPkgsInstall)
  • OS X version might be old
  • consider setting DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH to /opt/X11/lib/flat_namespace

Thanks a lot!

Hi Amy,

This looks very good, particularly for an M1 setup, which is more difficult.

When you run “suma”, does it open a graphical interface?

For R, it is only complaining about a missing afex library. We can try to work through that, but if you don’t run into a group analysis program which complains about afex being missing, then it might not be worth fighting with.

Hi Rick,

Yes, it does give a graphic interface when I run ‘suma.’

There is a huge possibility that I will be doing group analysis, so it is better if I can work this through. It would be great if you could help me with that.

Thanks a lot!

Amy
