Christiane, 

The log you sent me doesn't correspond to the error you first wrote in your email. The error reads as follow in your log:


---------------

>> reading filled volume...
closing volume...
{??? Undefined function or method 'fspecial' for input arguments of type 'char'.

Error in ==> make_outer_surface at 31
Gaussian = fspecial('gaussian',[2 2],1);
} 
>>

It doesn't find the fspecial.m function, probably because you don't have the licence for the image processing toolbox in your installation. Is there a way you can add the toolbox to your matlab installation?


Marie


NB: no need to change the matlab path, it's already correctly set up

Hi Marie,
 
with the old path I ment that the path just did not change. Here is my entire log.
 
Thank you very much for your help.
 
Kind regards
Christiane

Hi Christiane,
 
What do you mean when you say that you get the old path with getmatlab?
 
In any case, the error seems not related to a matlab path issue. Can you please attach the entire log?

Dear Freesurfer experts,
 
I tried to run the local GI command recon-all –s –localGI and got the following error message:
 
>> ??? Undefined function or method 'make_outer_surface' for input arguments of
type 'char'.
 
From earlier post I tried to fix the problem by changing the matlabpath like this:
 
setenv MATLABPATH /directory/bin
> setenv PATH ${MATLABPATH}/bin:${PATH}
 
However, if I then check the path via „getmatlab“ I still get the old path. Did I do something wrong?
And is it right to set up my matlabpath to the matlab/bin folder?
 
The scripts like make_outer_surface.m are located in the freesurfer/matlab directory. Or does the path have to point to the scripts directly?
 
Thank you very much in advance
 
Kind regards,
Christiane
