It reads like you got the same error running an older version of MacOS. If so please let us know what version of MacOS you were running prior to Tahoe. You may run into other issues by running 8.1..0 on Tahoe. I would consider reverting back to your previous version of MacOS if you made a backup, e.g., with Carbon Copy Cloner or some other utility.

Hi Freesurfer Developers,
I’m attempting to run recon-all but keep on coming across this same error:
mri_cc -aseg aseg.auto_noCCseg.mgz -o aseg.auto.mgz -lta transforms/cc_up.lta 1047
will read input aseg from aseg.auto_noCCseg.mgz
writing aseg with cc labels to aseg.auto.mgz
will write lta as transforms/cc_up.lta
Segmentation fault
ERROR: mri_cc -aseg aseg..auto_noCCseg.mgz -o aseg.auto.mgz -lta transforms/cc_up.lta 1047
recon-all -s 1047 exited with ERRORS at Wed Oct 29 18:32:30 GMT 2025
I found a couple reports of people encountering the same error, with some suggesting that upgrading macOS resolved the issue. Unfortunately, that solution didn’t work in my case. The problem closely matches the one described in this post and this post, where the file “aseg.auto_noCCseg.mgz” is only 16 bytes in size. Similarly, when I checked “synthseg.vol.csv” in the “stats” folder, the reported volumes for all segments were 0.
