I have installed Freesurfer (Leopard version) on Mac Mountain Lion and tried to use it for a full segmentation (recon-all -all).

On my own files I get a problem with Talairach, the program aborts and I get the recommendation to try it with -notal–check.

I have done this and Freesurfer has since then taken 6 days to run one brain. I have started the example script with Bert and it has run 4 days. I have aborted all the processes now and am asking for help.

All other steps in the Testing protocol with Bert seem to work apart from the recon-all -all.

I am using 7T data (but with just 1mm isotropic resolution), which is where I thought the problem came from.

Since the example script also does not run (that is, does not finish), it seems to be a problem with the installation and possibly my Mac version.

Do you have any suggestion how to solve this?

Best,

Paula
