I imagine this issue has been solved by now but just for the record I ran into 
a similar issue.  In my case the problem turned out to be that FSL installs by 
default in /usr/local/fsl/bin but FSFAST was looking for it in /bin

This was on OS X 10.8.2 with FSL Installer - Version 2.0.10 and Freesurfer 
5.2.0.

Is there some way to set up Freesurfer so it'll look in the correct directory?  
For now I'm copying the critical files to /bin but am hoping there is a better 
solution.

Thanks!

Joe
