*Sorry for the personal message Shantanu. *
*I managed to convert my dicom to nifti using mricron software, though had to make some changes to the preferences. *
*About the dcmunpack: The user manual on dcmunpack on fs site says that the unpackdcmdir is used only to unpack Siemens dicom files. We use Phillips infinity for our PET scan.*
*I am very new to Unix, free surfer and neuroimaging, so couldn't understand what nipy would do...*
*My FS is working fine as when I typed tkmedit bert orig.mngz for volume view it was displaying image.*
*But the when I tried to convert my .nii files to .mgz format , I get the following error:*

Have you tried using dcmunpack? You run it twice, once without any output to get a list of runs in the folder. The 2nd with how you want the data converted. Run it with --help to get more info doug

Hello I have only recently started the fmri data analysis and I downloaded freesurfer point by point from martinos site and incorporated the license file as well into the Applications/freesurfer directory. I have run into the first problem and that is of data conversion. My file is in dcm format and I have 11,000 dcm files to convert. However, before I was using Jamaan Alghamadi created gui and it is not able to convert the mri dcm files. Then I shifted to UNIX and again it is saying error.
My file is on the desktop and I have given it subject id as Grace. My directory to the dcm file is '/Users/sampada/desktop/Grace.
My terminal look like this before I proceed with the file conversion
