Hi!

First of all let me thank you for having put at our disposal such great tools as FreeSurfer and Tracula!
I am trying to run Tracula on the sample data that is on the website, but I've been running into some issues.
I am attaching the configuration file just in case (dmrirc_single_subject-serch).

The first step "trac-all -prep" seems to run fine.
The first problem comes with the second step "trac-all -bedp". The complete trace is included in the attached file 1-error-trac-all-bedp.txt
After finding this on the FreeSurfer mailing list https://mail.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pipermail//freesurfer/2012-May/024042.html I changed the lines

${BPDIR}/fsl_sub_seychelles

for

${FSL_BIN}/fsl_sub

in the bedpostx_seychelles and I could continue, until the script seems to be stuck

Queuing parallel processing stage
/volatile/tracula/results/
Diff001/dmri.bedpostX/monitor

Following a suggestion I found on this other archived email http://www.mail-archive.com/freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/msg20815.html
I ran bedpostx on the dmri directory and seemed to succeed. I am attaching the output (2-bedpostx-dmri.txt).

Then I tried to run  trac-all -path but it stops with the following error:

niiRead(): error opening file /volatile/tracula/results/Diff001/dmri.bedpostX/merged_ph1samples.nii.gz
ERROR: Could not read /volatile/tracula/results/
Diff001/dmri.bedpostX/merged_ph1samples.nii.gz

I searched for that file everywhere but it doesn't exist. The closest I found was

results/Diff001/dmri.bedpostX/merged_ph2samples.nii.gz

Just in case I tried once again to run trac-all -bedp and this time, after having run bedpostx on the dmri directory, I get the following error (the whole output is in the attached 4-error-trac-all-bedp-2.txt file):

[...]

For some reason the bedpostX process DOES NOT appear
to have successfully completed. Please examine your
results carefully.
kill: 390: No such process


I tried searching for a file named commands.txt but I couldn't find any.

Here is the output of bugr:

Thanks in advance for your help, any hint would be highly appreciated.

Best,

Sergio.
