Done. Thank you for your consideration. The best I can figure so far is
1) the script's attempt to make the tmp.bbregister.7392 directory fails
and 2) (after I manually make this directory),
there seems to be something going wrong at the level of fslregister

I have fsl 5.0.2.1 and freesurfer 5.3 running, and am regularly able to run freesurfer and
tracula (using only the flirt method, the bbr method was giving me trouble as well).

The code is all running on a sun grid engine, with individual ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS machines.

Your help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Sal

Dear Doug,

I attempted to run the process we discussed earlier today for registering a different tissue contrast to the T1 after freesurfer 5.3 was run.

I had run an FSSPGR for my subject using the following command:

recon-all -i SPGR/*.gz -s WMR3T_0015z_FS -nuintensitycor-3T -nocanorm -openmp 50 -hippo-subfields -all

It finished without any problems.

Then I tried running the bbrregister command:

bbregister --s WMR3T_0015z_FS --mov QSM_906.nii.gz --init-fsl --reg register.dat --bold

(this version was with bold contrast, but I get the same error if I try t1 or t2).

The process fails and I get the following error log (below). Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,

Sal
