It is hard to tell without the data. Is there any output before the core dump?

Sending on behalf of Brian who was having trouble sending a reply:

Dear Yujing,

Thank you! Haha yes, a silly error there with the -1/-l. 

When I correctly put -l, I now get the following error: "segmentation fault core dumped". Might this error make any sense to you? 

Brian

Sorry, just recognized it. The option to pass label file is ‘-l’.  It looks like you have ‘-1’ instead.

I’m not sure which version of Freesurfer you are using. But it seems the command line options are not in the right order.  Here is the wiki help - https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/mris_ca_label

Best,

Yujing

Hello everyone,

I am new to freesurfer so I apologize if this is a simple answer.

i'm running mris_ca_label to get the BN atlas parcellation:

mris_ca_label -1
/users/bkavanau/data/bkavanau/temp/derivatives/fmriprep/sourcedata/freesurfer/sub-004/label/lh.cortex.label 001 lh
/users/bkavanau/data/bkavanau/temp/derivatives/fmriprep/sourcedata/freesurfer/sub-004/surf/lh.sphere.reg
/users/bkavanau/data/bkavanau/temp/derivatives/fmriprep/sourcedata/freesurfer/lh.BN_Atlas.gcs
/users/bkavanau/data/bkavanau/temp/derivatives/fmriprep/sourcedata/freesurfer/sub-004/label/lh.BN_Atlas.annot

But it seems freesurfer is having an issue reading my lh.cortex.label file: 

/users/bkavanau/data/bkavanau/temp/derivatives/fmriprep/sourcedata/freesurfer/sub-004/label/lh.cortex.label: ascii: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

Might anyone have thoughts on how to resolve? I've seen adjacent errors before, but none related to ascii specifically.

thank you!

brian
