External Email - Use Caution

Hello Fleur,

You should be able to do,

$ file `which infant_recon_all`

... and the output should tell you if it it is a csh script, a Bourne shell script, a binary, etc.

Unless you explicitly made csh or bash your default shell, then at the dollar sign prompt the default shell in Ubuntu is "dash" and not bash or Bourne shell. If the file command reports it's a Bourne shell then it might be a bash script. Or a bash script with a hash bang line of /bin/sh will run using dash shell on Ubuntu and can exit with that error on bash syntax/grammar. You can eliminate that possibility by first running bash, and then the script,

$ bash

$ infant_recon_all --s SUBJ --age AGE

(with I presume arguments substituted for SUBJ and AGE)

- R.

Hi,

I recently installed the Infant FreeSurfer package. When I try to run
infant_recon_all (specific command: infant_recon_all --s SUBJ --age AGE)

I get the error

if: Expression Syntax

I tried switching shells from bash to tcsh but got the same error.

The FreeSurfer version is freesurfer-infant-20200205
My platform is Ubuntu 18.04

Any suggestions how to fix this?

Kind regards,

Fleur
