I'm thinking now maybe it's a good idea to move the symlink creation to the -prep part, to make it easier for anyone who ever needs to run bedpostx outside trac-all. Thanks for bringing this up.

Yes, because of the directions given previous listing I am running bedpost outside of trac-all (is this not necessary anymore - have we a new update?) I do not remember having to manually create the symlinks last time around but I have just done that now and bedpost is whirring away happily. For future reference to other TRACULA users: dmri/data.nii.gz should be a symlink to dmri/dwi.nii.gz presumably only if you have usemaskanat=1, then: dmri/nodif_brain_mask.nii.gz should be linked to dlabel/diff/aparc+aseg_mask.bbr.nii.gz Otherwise I guess it would be linked to the dmri/lowb_brain.nii.gz, but someone may correct me on that and some of the above.

If you're running bedpostx outside of trac-all, you need to create them yourself.

As for data.nii.gz, it should be created as a symbolic link to dwi.nii.gz, since bedpostx indeed expects it to be called "data". I have not seen this problem before, but does it occur only when you rerun and overwrite things in the same directory, or also when you start a fresh run on a previously non-existent directory? a.y On Thu, 16 Aug 2012, Richard Binney wrote: Hi Anastasia et al., I previously had TRACULA running wonderfully on a test dataset. I was tasked with writing an in-house step-by-step manual for dummies. Since then, a colleague has followed my manual with a new dataset and had problems. After trying to determine whether it was her install or something about her data and failing to find anything, I returned to re-run the subject I had already successfully processed. Nothing has changed in my install (TRAC-all version etc) ODDLY, this re-run is suffering from the same problem as my colleague. We ran trac-all -prep -dmrirc and it exited without any errors. However, there seem to be some files missing from the output: control.dat data.nii.gz nodif_brain_mask.nii.gz Bedpostx will not run due to the data file being missing and I'm sure the other missing files will cause problems. What is going on? I knew to look for these files as at some point I found the following list for the \dmri\. I can not re-find a post with this list so I'm sorry if it related to a solution to our current problem.
