Hey,

thanks for all the guidance so far!

Yes, that was the key. Maybe I was a little confused that missing
datafiles would result in a segfault ;-) Setting the BRAINVISA_SHARE
variable to the proper location allowed me to start anatomist.

It will take me a while to familiarize myself with anatomist. My initial
attempt to put a 'paint volume' on top of a volume rendered anatomical
failed badly -- it looks like a complex piece of software ;-)

I'll be on vacation next week, and will continue with this project
afterwards. I started taking notes on some issues that we should discuss
in terms of optimal packaging of brainvisa (starting with anatomist, but
with the rest already in mind).


Cheers,

Michael
