Juergen--Have you had successful resolution to this problem?

Nick--I'm attempting to average 175 subjects, but make_average_volume returns the same error as Juergen reports.

I'm running freesurfer-Linux-rh9-stable-pub-v4.0.1 on SUSE Linux 9.3 2.6.11.4-21.17-smp x86_64, with a pair of Pentium 3.20 GHz processors, 4 GB of physical memory and 8 GB of swap memory. My limits are also quite liberal.

I've tried to also use the alternative script posted by Doug Greve (http://www.mail-archive.com/freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/msg06641.html). That also returns the same error.

Any suggestions?

Many thanks,

Juergen,

Edit the 'make_average_subject' script removing (or commenting-out) the
line 'limit descriptors unlimited'.  You may have to do the same for
'make_average_surface' and 'make_average_volume'.  Although in v4.0,
these should already be commented-out.

Dear FS experts

I tried to run make_average_subject in the past with 92 subjects and got the
following error: Cannot allocate memory. This is now on the to-do list of
the FS website. Then I bought some additional RAM and changed from OS X
tiger to leopard. Now I tried it again and get this error:

[Macintosh-3:/Applications/freesurfer/subjects] juergenhaenggi% limit

[Macintosh-3:/Applications/freesurfer/subjects] juergenhaenggi% limit

memorylocked unlimited
maxproc      266 
[Macintosh-3:/Applications/freesurfer/subjects] juergenhaenggi%
make_average_subject --subjects SNPs_Vp*
limit: descriptors: Can't remove limit (Invalid argument)
[Macintosh-3:/Applications/freesurfer/subjects] juergenhaenggi%

I set the descriptor limit to 4096, but the make_average_subject command
will not start anymore.

Any idea what is wrong here?

Thanks in advance
Best regards
Juergen
