Dear List

I have recently come up agains the same problem as described below, namely the error when I compute lGI reads

>>reading filled volume...
closing volume...
??? Undefined function or method 'fspecial' for input arguments of type 'char'.
Error in ==> make_outer_surface at 31
Gaussian = fspecial('gaussian',[2 2],1);

ERROR: make_outer_surface did not create output file ....

I have tried re-running the subject (as recommended below), as well as looking at any output from the mris_compute_lgi -debug flag directly, but the error is the same (Note I am trying to process subjects on a linux computer, and have verified that the same subject runs successfully on a Mac). 

I'd appreciate any suggestions you might have,

Thanks in advance,

Lisa

Hi Jenifer,

I don't know what the error exactly means, but sometimes just re-running the
analysis helps.

Best,

Martin
