Hi,

I get the following error message when running mris_preproc, and I'm wondering what file is it looking for?:

Reading curvature file /usit/abel/u1/rimol/subjects/long/long_v0v2_amd/007v2.long.007_base/surf/lh.(null)
MRISreadCurvature: could not open /usit/abel/u1/rimol/subjects/long/long_v0v2_amd/007v2.long.007_base/surf/lh.(null)
No such file or directory
ERROR: reading curvature file

This subject, 007, seems to have all the files it should:
