Just to add on to this: you should use freeview, which runs smoothly on Catalina, for visualizing registration quality Andrew

Hello Phillip,
If you run the following command on that file - which is from the 6.0.0 freesurfer release,
$ file /Applications/freesurfer/tktools/tkregister2.bin
I think you will see that it reports it is a i386 binary - which is 32 bit - and cannot run on Catalina. That is also why you get bad CPU type,
% file tkregister2.bin tkregister2.bin: Mach-O executable i386
% ./tkregister2.bin ./tkregister2.bin: Bad CPU type in executable.
The last version of MacOS that can run 32 bit binaries is 10.14, Mojave, but with Mac OS 10.15 (Catalina) none of the old 32 bit binaries will run. So if you need to be compatible with running the 6.0.0 freesurfer release, then I suggest you look into reverting back to the previous version of the OS you were running before the upgrade, i.e., hopefully you made a backup before upgrading. Or if you have 10.13 (High Sierra), 10.12 (Sierra), or older, etc., that would work as well.

Tanks for the quick reply.
what exactly do you mean by all FS executables? It happens for various commands I am using but they all work on my Imac.
I am working from a 2019 macbook air using catalina, and installed it myself. The imac where it works is from 2013 and runs on Mojave.
Greets, Philipp

Hi Philipp
does this happen for all the FS executables? What kind of machine are you trying it from and who installed it? Sounds like you are on a mac and maybe trying to use a version installed for a different kind of computer

Hello, I am new to freesurfer and currently analysing and working on fMRI Data for my master thesis. I’ve come to an issue, that I can’t seem to solve.
The following error occurs and I cannot find a threat or forum entry that solves it.
/Applications/freesurfer/tktools/tkregister2.bin: Bad CPU type in executable.
It would be great if you could help me figure out a solution.
Thanks in advance,
Philipp Barzyk
