hi,
I am using MAC OS X and when i try to run the mri_motion_correct command it says that this command should be run on a linux machine.
DoI have to use the register.csh command that they have specified in the manual.
I even did that once but I got errors in between the process.
this is the output that I get when I try to run mri_montion-convert.
[d99-94:bert/mri/orig] scottfre% ls 001 002 003 [d99-94:bert/mri/orig] scottfre% mri_motion_correct . 001 002 003 mri_motion_correct must be run on a Linux machine
thanks.

what happens when you run it on a Linux machine?

You might expect a response like this from some random joker on the mailing list (such as me). Take a moment and consider the source here. Hmmm....

Here's the awful truth ... well, okay, just my personal advice to you. If you plan to do anything serious with FreeSurfer, do it on Linux or don't do it at all. You will save yourself a lot of grief. This is coming from my personal experience.
I would recommend getting some ugly, headless Linux box and running it from X from your Mac. You might even be able to get away with doing a little manual editing on the Mac. It isn't ideal but considering FreeSurfer is closed source and is only very lightly tested on the Mac (if at all) it might be the best way to go.
What is your most important goal: A) an accurate cortical reconstruction or B) getting FreeSurfer to work natively on the Mac? In my case, A outweighed B 1000 to 1 so there was no question.

Wow, this is a bit harsh. We had a loaner G5 from Apple for a month or so to do the port, then didn't have a machine with enough RAM to test stuff until early this week. We should have two G5s running recons sometime in the next couple of weeks, and we are showing stuff in the Apple booth at SFN, so hopefully our apple support will get better.
cheers,
Bruce
