Hello Elisa,

I've seen this issue that the process gets stuck even if you answer the question. That happened to me and others before, see the following posts:

http://www.mail-archive.com/freesurfer%40nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/msg07251.html

http://www.mail-archive.com/freesurfer%40nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/msg32912.html

But I'm afraid that we didn't find the full solution to this yet. We tried replacing all the "rm" by "rm -f" in load_mgh.m, but it didnt help. Can you try that? Maybe you're more lucky than me. So finally, on my side, the only solution I found was to process the LGI on another computer… but it's definitely not ideal! 

Otherwise, maybe someone else has solved this issue without posting the reply on the mailing list. If yes, I'd be very grateful to know the answer, thanks in advance! 

Best,

Marie

Thank you Doug,

anyway I'm afraid I still have problems with the recon-all -localGI. After answering yes to the removal of the temporary file, it seems that the program stops without doing anything.
Now my tmp folder contains just one file (edit.dat). Below you can see what I see from my terminal. The terminal has been stuck there since yesterday.
Thank you.
