Hi all,

I am new to Freesurfer (and to linux) and appreciate if you could please help. Just managed to install FS onto Ubuntu 10.10 64 bit.

I am going through buckner - tutorial for the group analysis with Qdec.

I am at the step where I have to import the aseg and aparc data. I clicked on the "generate stats data tables" button - unfortunately an error showed up.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
mkdir -p /usr/local/freesurfer/subjects/qdec/stats_tables/
mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/local/freesurfer/subjects/qdec': Permission denied
ERROR: In /usr/pubsw/packages/KWWidgets/CVS-vtk520/src/vtkKWTkUtilities.cxx, line 230

    Returned Error on line 1:

Stack trace: 
Uncaught exception: command failed: mkdir -p /usr/local/freesurfer/subjects/qdec/stats_tables/

    while executing
"vtkTemp3 GenerateStatsDataTables"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was wondering if you could please guide me about what could be the problem and how to overcome it! I went through the archives and saw a similar message before, but I did not understand how the person overcame this problem.

Thanks in advance.

Rajeev
