Hmmm, that's a new one. If you send us the files:

mri/transforms/talairach.lta mri/nu_noneck.mgz mri/transforms/talairach_with_skull.lta

for that subject, and we'll take a look.

cheers, Bruce

Hello,

I am getting some unusual error messages from recon-all. Both autorecon2 and autorecon3 are exiting with errors. The errors are showing up in all 10 data sets I am running. I've attached some of the log files located in '${SUBJECTS_DIR}/${SUBJID}/scripts/' for one subject.

The error message I am noticing is:

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for any help!
