Hi

I was trying to create an average subject using the make_average_subject command.

When it got to one of the subjects there was the following error:

#@# processing subject 4/85 3106...
  Reading /home/drg/3106/surf/lh.sphere.reg
mrisReadTriangleFile(/home/drg/3106/surf/lh.orig): surface doesn't match /home/drg/3106/surf/lh.sphere.reg

No such file or directory
mrisReadTriangleFile failed.

No such file or directory
MRISreadOriginalProperties: could not read surface file orig
No such file or directory
mris_make_average_surface: could not read orig file for lh.

No such file or directory
mris_average_surface failed
ERROR: make_average_surface
---------

Looking in the surf directory both lh.orig and lh.surf.reg exist, but I'm guessing this means I need to run the recon-all -s <subjid> -make all command.

My question is whether there is some command I can use to validate subjects before trying to run commands such as make_average_subject. I want to avoid the situation where I fix this subject, then try to rerun make_average_subject only to find that some other subject also needs fixing.

Thanks,
