where to find libexpat

[Paul Greenberg]

I'm using a program called Freesurfer to analyze brain volume based on
MRI images.

After typing "ldd /usr/local/freesurfer/bin/mris_volmask.bin", the
error messages from freesurfer are"

linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007fff4e5fe000)
>         libX11.so.6 => /usr/lib64/libX11.so.6 (0x00007fa045fcf000)
>         libXmu.so.6 => /usr/lib64/libXmu.so.6 (0x00007fa045db6000)

>         libvtkzlib.so.5.2 => not found
>         libexpat.so.0 => not found


and the list continues, but I truncated it at the libexpat line.
The Freesurfer programmers suggested I locate the libexpat.so.0 RPM
and install it.

Suggestions?

Thanks,

Paul
