External Email - Use Caution        

Douglas,

thank you for clarifying. The problem is that both when  $FS_MKCON_USE_BIN is not defined and when it is set to '0' mkcontrast2 asks for MATLAB path (as in my previous mail). What should I do to make it use octave instead?

Best regards,
Patrycja

These are only needed if you want to use the matlab binaries

Just FS_MKCON_USE_BIN(or leave it undefined).

These are to use the matlab binaries when running these programs
(binaries don't require a license). We do not use spm for registration
anymore, so that this irrelevant. SXA3 refers to selxavg3-sess.

I don't think so.
