Hi Alex, 

I did install again mne as you described. 
Now when  I run mne_watershed_bem I have the COR files and the surf files  as before but not the .fif file. 
I have a different error though, relating to mne_convert_surface (which is a an executable):
 /home/fsuser/mne/MNE-2.7.4-3443-Linux-x86_64/bin/mne_convert_surface: 2: /home/fsuser/mne/MNE-2.7.4-3443-Linux-x86_64/bin/mne_convert_surface:  : not found
/home/fsuser/mne/MNE-2.7.4-3443-Linux-x86_64/bin/mne_convert_surface: 1: /home/fsuser/mne/MNE-2.7.4-3443-Linux-x86_64/bin/mne_convert_surface: /home/fsuser/mne/MNE-2.7.4-3443-Linux-x86_64/bin/mne_convert_surface: 2: /home/fsuser/mne/MNE-2.7.4-3443-Linux-x86_64/bin/mne_convert_surface: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")
/home/fsuser/mne/MNE-2.7.4-3443-Linux-x86_64/bin/mne_convert_surface: ELF    : not found

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
