Dear FreeSurfer community,

My recon-all commands have stopped working, when previously they (usually) completed just fine. I am not sure at what level the problem is at.

I’m working off the Jalapeno cluster at FMRIB, where FreeSurfer is centrally installed. I run a configuration script to get started  (. $FREESURFER_HOME/SetUpFreeSurfer.sh) and then define my subjects directory (SUBJECTS_DIR=~/scratch/my_fs_subjects). I then run recon-all commands e.g.

fsl_sub -q verylong.q recon-all -s SubjectXXX -i T1_biascorr.nii.gz –all

This previously worked. I now within minutes get a log file with no obvious error message, but which ends

recon-all -s SubjectXXX exited with ERRORS at Wed Aug 28 15:38:13 BST 2013

We are using FreeSurfer version 5.3.0. After reading some of the archive I’ve checked that nu_correct is indeed stored in the freesurfer directory mni/bin/nu_correct.

Any tips?

Thanks and warm regards,

Amy

Dear Doug,

It is a mac. I made the meditation.levels file using emacs.

emacs meditation.levels --> type "Normal" (level1) --> hit enter --> type "TM" (level2) --> save file

Thank you very much!

Sincerely,
Ye

    How did you create the levels file? Eg, did you use a windows

    Or did you use msword or some other word processor. If not, can
    you send
