MRtrix3 Tissue qt5 installation error

andraderenew · August 5, 2022, 11:22am

I am trying to install MRtrix3 Tissue but I have issues with qt5 opengl I guess.

Clearly is a QT linking issue. I opened configure file but I still don’t know what to do to make QT5 visible to the compiler. I saved it in zprofile or zrc and nothing seems to change. It happens both in linux ubuntu and Mac OS X.

I have installed in Linux passing with -nogui option in ./configure so partially solved. But still opengl and mrview wouldn’t work.

Mostly Ubuntu/Linux posts but here are some potentially helpful links:

My previous post on ensuring the Qt5 plugins path is available. TL;DR set an environment variable called QT_PLUGIN_PATH to the qt5/plugins filepath.
In this previous post where multiple people had the linking error reported, there are a few different things that fixed their issues:
- Install the qt5/openGL libraries, including the dev versions
- Make sure you don’t have a conflicting version of Eigen3 installed
- Alternative library to install: libglvnd-dev
- If you’re using an NVIDIA card, the person from that post found that there was a libGL.so linking issue related to their error - follow their steps to set the right symbolic link target at the correct location.
Further debugging:
- Paste the configure.log file which may have a better description of your error for people helping out.
- Run ldd on mrview to understand where the libraries live.

Hello @andraderenew,

You can try seeing if following the steps on this link fix your issue.

Also, since the 3Tissue branch is not up to date with the rest of MRtrix, it probably makes most sense to use it only for the SS3T CSD step, and to install the MRtrix master branch to run mrview and other scripts.

Cheers,
Nick

Sorry, bit late to the party, but hopefully some of this will be useful…

The first thing to note is that you’re trying to build within a conda / anaconda environment – the giveaway is this line:

WARNING: Anaconda removed from PATH to avoid conflicts

This is our attempt at minimising the many issues that crop up when trying to build with an existing conda / anaconda install. The problem stems mainly from conda providing its own versions of all sorts of packages, many of which will conflict with the system-supplied versions. Qt is particularly problematic given the very tight integration between GUI components & OpenGL and the hardware & drivers on your system: these bits can’t rely on the generic packages provided by anaconda, they have to use the right drivers supplied by your OS, and that causes issues. We can (and do) build on anaconda, but it’s not easy (recipe here if you’re interested).

So the first thing to do if you want to build on macOS is to disable anaconda – at least long enough for the build to complete. You should be able to find the bit in your ~/.zshrc or ~/.profile where anaconda runs its startup scripts, and comment them out (you can always revert them later on). Then you’d need to install Qt5 along with all the other dependencies outside of anaconda (there are quite a few options on macOS, the trick is to make sure none of these different sources of packages don’t end up conflicting with each other). Personally, I’d probably go for the last option: manual install of the required dependencies, it’s probably the best way to avoid conflicts later on.

If you get this far, but things still aren’t working, feel free to ask again, but do include your entire configure.log in your post, it often contains loads of information that you wouldn’t recognise as relevant, but gives us important clues as to what the problem is.

Cheers, and good luck…
Donald

this is perfect for configure but then in build I have an issue seems to me related to eigen

Yes, older versions of MRtrix won’t compile with Eigen 3.4.0 – and MRtrix3Tissue is an old version. The simplest thing to do is to download an older version of Eigen and use that. Something like this should work:

# navigate to your MRtrix3Tissue installation:
cd MRtrix3Tissue

# download Eigen repo and checkout older version:
git clone https://gitlab.com/libeigen/eigen.git
cd Eigen
git checkout 3.3.9
cd ..

# try again with appropriate flags:
EIGEN_CFLAGS="-isystem $(pwd)/eigen" ./configure
./build

This is from memory, there may some adjustments to make to get it to work…

it worked flawlessly thank you so much!!
