Hello,

I'm trying to run LGI.  We have the 2012 version of matlab and the image processing toolbox.  I've looked at several threads dealing with path issues, but have been unable to fix my problem.

I think our problem is that when I run "recon-all -s ucr001_4-11 -localGI" it seems to start up properly, but then it's calling Matlab 2010 instead of 2012.  

Here's the error message we get:

Then I moved Matlab2010 to see if it would load Matlab2012 and I got this error:

I have been unable to find out how to have FreeSurfer call Matlab 2012.  My startup.h file looks like this now:

%------------ FreeSurfer -----------------------------%

fshome = getenv('FREESURFER_HOME');

$FREESURFER_HOME/matlab;

fsmatlab = sprintf('/Users/Tiana/matlab',fshome);

    path(path,fsmatlab);

clear fshome fsmatlab;

%-----------------------------------------------------%

I used the full code for startup.m given by Nick and others but then Matlab2012 didn't open up properly; with this code Matlab2012 opens up without errors.

Is there a place in Freesurfer to define the path for Matlab?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Adam
