External Email - Use Caution

Hi,

I just installed freesurfer in Linux Ubuntu 14.04, and I got a critical (and strange) problem in the earlier tests of freesurfer (Example 2). Any help would be appreciated. Basically, when trying example 2 in instructions homepage I got the following error:

theo@theo-Inspiron-5457:~$ recon-all -i sample-001.nii.gz -s bert -all bash: /usr/local/freesurfer/bin/recon-all: /bin/tcsh: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

But the fact is that recon-all is there and apparently it is well configured, because 1) the recon-all does exist, and 2) permissions are ok:

theo@theo-Inspiron-5457:~$ ls -l /usr/local/freesurfer/bin/recon-all -rwxrwxr-x 1 8481 1590 327555 Jan 18 2017 /usr/local/freesurfer/bin/recon-all

and the command is promptly recognized :

theo@theo-Inspiron-5457:~$ which recon-all /usr/local/freesurfer/bin/recon-all/

Any ideas? Anybody got this issue before? It seems to be some (not obvious) permission problem.

Below I type the whole procedure to install, so one can see that I followed all installation instructions.

History:

1) Successfully downloaded and unzipped the files at /usr/loca/freesurfer

2) Successful set up of environment variables after including the following lines in .bashrc:

############################################## #Software FREESURFER - Enviroment variables # export FREESURFER_HOME=/usr/local/freesurfer source $FREESURFER_HOME/SetUpFreeSurfer.sh export SUBJECTS_DIR=/home/theo/freesurfer/subjects ##############################################

BTW, "theo" is my userID

3) File license.txt copied to /usr/local/freesurfer

4) message after open a terminal window confirms that Enviroment variables were correctly set:

-------- freesurfer-Linux-centos6_x86_64-stable-pub-v6.0.0-2beb96c -------- Setting up environment for FreeSurfer/FS-FAST (and FSL) FREESURFER_HOME /usr/local/freesurfer FSFAST_HOME /usr/local/freesurfer/fsfast FSF_OUTPUT_FORMAT nii.gz SUBJECTS_DIR /usr/local/freesurfer/subjects MNI_DIR /usr/local/freesurfer/mni (base) theo@theo-Inspiron-5457:~$ echo $SUBJECTS_DIR /home/theo/freesurfer/subjects (base) theo@theo-Inspiron-5457:~$

Any help is welcome Regards
