Hello,

This error occurs because the float-128 data type is not supported on Apple ARM chips.

You can try running the nightly dev build for Mac available here:

https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pub/dist/freesurfer/dev/freesurfer-macOS-darwin_arm64-dev.pkg

But please note that this is an unstable and not an official release.

Best,

Jackson

External Email - Use Caution

Dear Juan and FreeSurfer developers,

I am trying to run the mri_synthsr command on a MacPro M2 Max chip (OS 13.6.4) - but somehow, I am getting the following error when I try to run this command. I am using FreeSurfer's 7.4.1 version.

Illegal instruction: 4

I would greatly appreciate any help in getting this resolved.

Thanks.
