Hi Adam,
The place to define matlab is not set in freesurfer, but directly in your environment variables. You have to add the path to your matlab installation directory to the variable $PATH.
However, what I am not able to figure out, is why it doesn't work with Matlab 2010. I tested it with quite a lot of matlab versions and didn't observe this problem. Anyway, try first to add your path to the matlab 2012 version and see whether it works. If not, look at this post: http://www.mail-archive.com/freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/msg25017.html and tell me if it still doesn't work.
Best,
Marie

Hello,
I'm trying to run LGI. We have the 2012 version of matlab and the image processing toolbox. I've looked at several threads dealing with path issues, but have been unable to fix my problem.
I think our problem is that when I run "recon-all -s ucr001_4-11 -localGI" it seems to start up properly, but then it's calling Matlab 2010 instead of 2012.
Here's the error message we get: ====================================================== Warning: Unable to open display 'iconic'. You will not be able to display graphics on the screen.

I have been unable to find out how to have FreeSurfer call Matlab 2012. My startup.h file looks like this now: %------------ FreeSurfer -----------------------------% fshome = getenv('FREESURFER_HOME'); $FREESURFER_HOME/matlab; fsmatlab = sprintf('/Users/Tiana/matlab',fshome); path(path,fsmatlab); clear fshome fsmatlab; %-----------------------------------------------------%
I used the full code for startup.m given by Nick and others but then Matlab2012 didn't open up properly; with this code Matlab2012 opens up without errors.
Is there a place in Freesurfer to define the path for Matlab?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Adam
