Sorry, I don't know why it is failing. We don't have a problem with it and no one else has reported this. Check the location of the FSLDIR env variable. Or maybe it is a new version of FSL that is not compatible with the old?

Thanks, Doug. I think I've kind of sorted that one out by creating a folder called "Retinotopy" under 
freesurfer/subjects/Retinotopy/33333/, which contains the 001/, ... 004/ folders containing those their corresponding (polar and eccen) rtopy.par and f.nii files.

But now I have another problem. When I run 

selxavg3-sess -a Retintopy.33333.lh -s 33333

, it runs up to the point as below, where it's "using FSL's BET to Extract Brain".

# ---------- Using FSL's BET to Extract Brain------------------ #
/usr/local/freesurfer/subjects/Retinotopy/33333/Retinotopy
bet.fsl /tmp/mkbrainmask_9112/in.nii /tmp/mkbrainmask_9112/brain -m -f 0.1

/usr/local/freesurfer//bin/bet.fsl: 231: /usr/local/freesurfer//bin/bet.fsl: /bin/bet2: not found

Then I realized that the program looks for those not-found files (remove_ext, imtest, bet2) in /bin/, but actually they're all in /usr/lib/fsl/5.0/.

What I did next was to copy those files from /usr/lib/fsl/5.0/ to /bin/, but then I got this error:

# ---------- Using FSL's BET to Extract Brain------------------ #
/usr/local/freesurfer/subjects/Retinotopy/33333/Retinotopy

niiRead(): error opening file /tmp/mkbrainmask_12619/brain_mask.nii

Again, I tried copying the file libfslvtkio.so from /usr/lib/fsl/5.0 to /bin/, but it keeps giving me the same error.

So I have two questions:
1) I suspect that selxavg3-sess should be looking for the files in /usr/lib/fsl/5.0 instead of in /bin/. Why does it do that? And how can I direct it to look for files in the former location instead?
2) As a quick fix, is it OK for me to copy all the files from /usr/lib/fsl/5.0 to /bin/? Will it solve the problem? The folder /bin/ contains something else and I don't really feel like messing with it.

Many thanks,
Alan

It looks for it in the current folder. You must run this from the same folder you ran mkanalysis-sess from (which should be your project folder)

Hello,

I'm using freesurfer to do retinotopic mapping. I've completed the recon-all, mkanalysis-sess, mri-convert and preproc-sess steps. Now when I run the selxavg3-sess (my subject name is 33333):

selxavg3-sess -a Retinotopy.33333.lh -s 33333

I got the following message:
"ERROR: /usr/local/freesurfer/subjects/Retinotopy/33333/Retinotopy does not exist"

It seems to look for a Retintopy folder within /Retinotopy/33333/. I suppose the Retinotopy folder should be placed under freesurfer/subjects/ ? Am I missing something here?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,
Alan
