Hi, I took a look at this and saw that the error comes from the "getmatlab"
script ($FREESURFER_HOME/fsfast/bin/getmatlab). It is a CSH script, which I
thought might be the issue.
Specifically, the script checks for the existence of matlab by
(unsurprisingly)
set MATLAB = `which matlab`;
On Dr. J's system, this was problematic due to "matlab" being aliased, so
calling "getmatlab" directly exited with the error. Hard-coding the path
for matlab in the "getmatlab" script is a (non-portable) solution.
However, I am not sure why it would throw an error, in any case. I tried it
on my system and it returned the correct location of matlab. I am running
CentOS 7.3 and using Freesurfer v5.3
(x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-stable5-20130513). The version of "getmatlab" is
Revision 1.2
