Hi Mike - Good to know. This would make perfect sense b/c in 5.1 trac-all required a variable to be defined that isn't used any more in 5.3.

Hi Anastasia,I updated freesurfer from 5.1 to 5.3 and that fixed the
problem!  Thanks for taking a look at my file.

      I tried making the subjects directory line in the configuration
      file point to somewhere that didn't actually exist.  I got the
      same error as you, where it says that SUBJECTS_DIR doesn't
      exist.  Then I changed it to point to the real folder, and I am
      back at the "set: variable name must begin with a letter" error.
      I have now tried this on two different computers with similar
      but not identical setups, and get the same error.  I am using
      freesurfer 5.1 now, but the original data was processed with
      version 5.0, if that makes a difference.

      Very strange...I'm running this on a 2009 macbook pro,
      with OSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard).  I've never had this sort
      of problem with command-line programs like AFNI or
      freesurfer.

      Hi Michael - It doesn't look like the configuration
      file is the problem, or at least I cannot replicate
      it. I ran "trac-all -c dmrirc.txt -prep" on a mac
      and a linux machine and the only error I got was
      that the SUBJECTS_DIR doesn't exist (as expected
      since I don't have your directory structure). What
      system are you running this on?

            Hi Anastasia,No log files were created,
            it seems like the program does not even
            begin to run.  I get that
            error immediately upon calling trac-all.
             I pasted the entire configuration file
            into the original
            message, but I attach it here as well.  

            Thanks,

                        a problem, but I cannot
                        find the source.  Any
            advice?  I am trying to get this working
            for a single
                        subject for now.  I used the
                        dmrirc.example file as a
            template.  I am calling trac-all from
            the tcsh command
                        line with the following:
                        trac-all -c dmrirc.example
            -prep

                        The contents of my dmrirc
            file are below, I have deleted most of
            the options for
                        which I am just using the
                        default, to make things
