this message indicates the problem:

mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/local/freesurfer/subjects/qdec': Permission denied

you can make the subjects directory writable by typing:

cd /usr/local/freesurfer chmod -R a+rwX subjects

Hi all,

I am new to Freesurfer (and to linux) and appreciate if you could please help. Just managed to install FS onto Ubuntu 10.10 64 bit.

I am going through buckner - tutorial for the group analysis with Qdec.

I am at the step where I have to import the aseg and aparc data. I clicked on the "generate stats data tables" button - unfortunately an error showed up.

Stack trace: Uncaught exception: command failed: mkdir -p /usr/local/freesurfer/subjects/qdec/stats_tables/

while executing

"vtkTemp3 GenerateStatsDataTables"

I was wondering if you could please guide me about what could be the problem and how to overcome it! I went through the archives and saw a similar message before, but I did not understand how the person overcame this problem.

Thanks in advance.

Rajeev
