Just a guess: if you are using a Mac, the path for the directory should be something like
/Users/yourname/Desktop/ etc. instead of just /Desktop/ etc.
hope this helps, roberto

The SUBJECTS_DIR is where you want the result of the freesurfer analysis to go. This is usually not /usr/local/freesurfer/subjects because you usually don't have write permissions. Try setting it to a place where you have some space, then run recon-all something like
recon-all -s yoursubject -i /Desktop/Allimages/MRIscan... and the full path till DICOM/dicomfile
the output will then be in $SUBJECTS_DIR/yoursubject

My data is on the desktop. The subjects directory is under usr/local/freesurfer/subjects. I tried setting desktop as SUBJECTS_DIR by using 'export SUBJECTS_DIR="/Desktop/Allimages/MRIscan... and the full path till DICOM" ' but apparently it didn't work because when I tried to run recon, it says SUBJECTS_DIR /Desktop/Allimages/MRIscan/.../....DICOM does not exist
If I can't get SUBJECTS_DIR to change to Desktop path, how can I introduce my data into usr/local/freesurfer path? I notice Bert has everything in order. If I mkdir Mine in SUBJECTS_DIR and put my MRI files in there , will it work?
