Hi Freesurfer experts,

I'm working on analyzing longitudinal data using the longitudinal 2-stage model. When running the data through long_mris_slopes, I was getting the following error message: ERROR 1 : mris_calc compute sym. pct. change (spc) problem?

I saw in previous messages that this is the result of a bug. I found the fix under the release notes, though after downloading it and placing the fix in the bin and makign these files executable, I keep receiving the following error messages. Does anyone have any insight into the problem and possible solutions?

mri_convert --frame 0 ./tmp-0001_base_lh_thickness_3f8Byr/glm/beta.mgh ./tmp-0001_base_lh_thickness_3f8Byr/beta0.mgh
