So now I got the following in /home/pom/Software/freesurfer/subjects dir and still no lh.BA1.label per your first email.

ok, that's good.  Just make a symlink to the fsaverage dir from your subjects dir (/home/pom/Software/freesurfer/subjects)

i.e.
cd /home/pom/Software/freesurfer/subjects
ln -s ./fsavg/fsaverage .

fsavg dir contains several directories.

[pom@PomLinux /home/pom]% cd fsavg
[pom@PomLinux /home/pom]% ls
fsaverage  fsaverage3  fsaverage4  fsaverage5  fsaverage6  lh.EC_average  rh.EC_average  V1_average


thanks again.

      what is fsavg in that same directory?  Maybe fsaverage was renamed to fsavg?

      You would just need to copy the fsaverage recon folder back into
      /home/pom/Software/freesurfer/subjects, no need to reinstall.

            I think it linked to itself, should I re-install freesurfer.

                  Hi Pom,
                  Does the following path exist?
                  /home/pom/Software/freesurfer/subjects/fsaverage/label/

                  if so, do it contain lh.BA1.label?  It probably has something do with
            the fsaverage
                  symbolic link.  A few lines up in your error log it prints "Too many
            levels of symbolic
                  links".
