External Email - Use Caution
Some commands such as mri_synthsr in previous releases, e.g., 7.4.1, use code built with Intel processor specific instructions that cannot run on an arm processor, i.e., there is not full backwards binary compatibility in that case using the Rosetta emulation environment on MacOS. Hence the “illegal instruction” error. We do have a (more recent) development build on a Silicon Mac you can download via the link, https://secure-web.cisco.com/1lWnZREm3JXXMeuMNsb_hOkyb2ipaBFlFN8u43RUzyQ6-cB... .... it has not yet gone the the same testing as done for a release. Please let us know if you run into issues trying it. - R.
