Chances are you'd get a more informed response from a Freesurfer
mailing list.

Not finding a script suggests an install problem.

That suggests you have a mix: some tools compiled with shared
MINC libraries and some with static libraries.  One source of
the former is the "official" Debian packages, i.e. the ones
from packages.debian.org.  Best idea is to ask the person
who built your binaries.
