Hi,

I'm running freesurfer in Ubuntu hardy 2.6.24-19

I've ran into a problem with loading data tables in qdec.

I've followed the instructions in tutorial 2a and created associated data tables, but qdec always returned the error:

ERROR: QdecProject::VerifySubjects: Couldn't find subject '<sdi>' in SUBJECTS_DIR
sh: Syntax error: Bad fd number

I've even tried to load the tutorial example files, and had the same errors returned back to me,

please assist:

Here's the error output:

Loading data table /media/STORAGE/buckner_data/tutorial_subjs/group_analysis_tutorial/qdec/qdec.table.dat...
