Another note on this:
Apparently, getopt (used in fsl_sub) doesn't work correctly when this flag is not set to 1 (it picks op a lot of options it shouldn't). Thus, instead of commenting out the flag, it is better to set it to zero after the
set -- `getopt T:q:a:p:M:j:t:N:n:Fvm:l: $*`
Line. Then one gets the best of both worlds.
Peace,
Matt.

I'm dredging this 2 year old post up for the benefit of Google and anyone else who wonders about the cause of this. It is a non-fatal error (for FreeSurfer, but perhaps not other things) that is caused by having set the variable:
POSIXLY_CORRECT=1
It causes bc (on Debian/Ubuntu) systems to fail when making comparisons like:
echo '3.5 > 2.5' | bc -l
I am guessing (because this is what I was doing) that the poster was using fsl_sub to launch FreeSurfer jobs in SGE. fsl_sub sets this flag for some reason, but commenting it out seems not to cause any problems.
Peace,
Matt.

Thanks! I would check them later.

if it was a syntax error then recon-all wouldn't have finished, so I'm not sure what's going on. You should visually inspect the surfaces and segmentations to make sure they are all ok.
cheers, Bruce

Sorry, I didn't notice that the reply address was not the list, I've done re-post it.
Is there any method to check whether it is ok? For SGE, it might only write errors to dot e files instead of warnings.
It seemed like a shell syntax error, however, I don't have that experience to check the recon-all script.

can you post this to the list? There are others better qualified to say what's going on. But if everything finished ok is there really a

Maybe this is just a warning? On Sun, 14 Mar 2010, Xue, Feng wrote:
Hi Bruce,
Thanks for your reply. The recon-all.log said it finished without error. please find the whole scripts root in the attachment. I'm also running a raw testing with one subject and without
SGEяяяяMaybe
I can report the result the day after tomorrow.
BTW, I found in my 64bit Debian nodes, I repeated got the error as
below
(standard_in) 2: Error: comparison in expression but in 32bit, I met both.
for the GMail security restriction, I changed recon-all.cmd in the attachment to recon-all.cmds.

what does the recon-all.log say? Did the recon finish correctly? Does this happen if you just run it on the command line? Bruce

Dear Bruce & FS experts,
Please forgive my re-post, for I havn't got any response from last post. I do appreciate if anyone could give me a hint or suggestion.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
We are running freesurfer with Sun GridEngine. Currently, we repeatedly got this error in SGE's job error log file on some data when doing recon_all:
$ cat recon_xf.e437 (standard_in) 2: Error: comparison in expression $ cat recon_xf.e431 (standard_in) 2: comparison in expression
I also checked the recon-all-status.log file, but not error was
found.
Has anyone met this problem? Is it critical? Thanks in advance.
