Hi,
I'm having trouble getting FSL 4.1.4 to run on the cluster. The last error I get is FILM did not complete - probably ran out of memory. At the beginning of the log file, I see the following:
/usr/local/fsl-4.1.4-centos4_64/bin/feat_model design
Can't find key fmri(evs_vox)
mkdir .files;cp /usr/local/fsl-4.1.4-centos4_64/doc/fsl.css .files;ln -s /usr/local/fsl-4.1.4-centos4_64/doc/images .files/images
ln: creating symbolic link `.files/images' to `/usr/local/fsl-4.1.4-centos4_64/doc/images': Operation not supported
Any thoughts? Has anyone had luck running FSL 4.1.4 on the cluster?
Thanks!

We see the same errors in feat log files on the cluster but they are generally not fatal for some reason. If this is a Mac laptop it may have something to do with the shell that is running the commands under the hood. Even if they're both bash (the cluster default) there may be an option that tells feat or bash not to break on these errors (but which also means it will plunge ahead even in the presence of other errors which means you will have to search the log files for the first real error ). |

You can't make symbolic links on the cifs mounted file system. The "ln -s" is what is throwing the error.
You could, however, run this on the tmp drive |

Not sure if this is a related problem, but maybe. When i try to run models (off the GUI) from a remote laptop with a munin drive mounted i get the following error:
terminal output:
simons-air:TF006 simonwdavis$ ln: .files/images: Operation not supported

Doesn't happen if the data is local. Is this a permissions issue? Qsub working and all that, but would be nice to test out models before batching.

Oh! Indeed I had to delete three subjects because they are lacking of behavior data. I have the same number of input when I define the model though. Anyway, this is really an important hint. I will double check the input and the model.
Thanks! |

Lihong,
Did you happen to remove any subjects, or move any of their data?
Looks like during the mean-func creation fsl is expecting there to be more data than you actually have.

Thanks Gunes. For each EV I only have one run, so I don't need to run level2. The third level group analysis using results directly from level1 worked fine previously. However, I got this error message when I rerun the same model with minor changes.

Hi Lihong,
Can you explain your design a little bit to help for your scripts? i have one design that has a few runs and each run has different EVs. Based on my knowledge i can say as follows:
If you have one run per each EV, At level 2 you have to combine all main EVs and create all contrasts that you are interested in using Level 3. Maybe you are missing Level 2 stat if you are using several runs with different EVs.
I hope this helps.

I am using fsl 4.1.4 version to do a third level group analysis, and got some error messages as the following:
/usr/local/fsl/bin/fslmaths mean_func -Tmean mean_func

(file "/usr/local/fsl/bin/feat" line 137)
Does anyone know what's wrong with the mean_fun image? The mean_func images from the reg_standard directory look fine to me. My inputs are from the first level analysis since I only have one run per EV. Thanks for any suggestions.

Thanks, I have those lines in my scripts, but I wasn't sure that I wanted to switch over to the new version completely. But I can just edit my .bash_profile file when I want to switch back and forth.
Thanks for everyone's help!

If you add the following lines as Josh described earlier into your profile, you may solve your problem:

Hope it helps.

so that's the thing, I had tried to create a new *.fsf template.
I invoke, what I thought was the new version of FSL by typing this (at q interact)
/usr/local/fsl-4.1.4-centos4_64/bin/fsl and I've also tried this
/usr/local/fsl-4.1.4-centos4_64/bin/Feat
Now I'm realizing that it seems both are bringing up FSL 4.0, and the *.fsf file that both creates is missing the variable described above (set fmri(evs_vox) 0)
So I'm sure that using an old *.fsf is the problem, but now I'm not sure how to load FSL 4.1.4.

did you make a new FSF design template with the newer version of Feat, or are you trying to run an older model through? |

Save for the issue I posted about last week, I haven't had any issues with FSL 4.1.4 on the cluster. However, Brandi had a similar error ("Can't find key").
Try making a new template with the new version. And, you should run feat using $FSLDIR/bin/feat. This should fix it.
