hi Nadia,

can you try a fresh install in your home dir without typing any "sudo".

something like

tar xvzf MNE-Nightly-Linux-x86_64.tar.gz
cd MNE-Nightly-Linux-x86_64
export MNE_ROOT=$PWD
. $MNE_ROOT/bin/mne_setup_sh

Don't forget the ". " before $MNE...

Then export SUBJECTS_DIR with the appropriate path and try again.

Let me know how it goes.

Alex
