Hi, 
I'm trying niak-boss-0.12.15 on Guillimin, (/sb/project/gsf-624-aa/quarantaine/niak-boss-0.12.15) for fMRI preprocessing.
I only copied niak-boss-0.12.15 directory to mine (to change psom options), while I'm using all the other packages such as minc and gnuplot located in /sb/project/gsf-624-aa/quarantaine/.
In t1-preprocess, after masking the brain, I have this error:

So it seems like there's something I've done wrong with minc configuration?
In my home directory, my .bashrc file is set like below:

Thanks in advance!

Hi Kangjoo,

I keep running into problems when people from outside the lab use NIAK on guillimin. I'll have to find a better way. In the meantime, did you check the permissions of the file:
/sb/project/ixx-903-aa/kangjoo/Matlab_code/niak-boss-0.12.15/commands/t1_processing/niak_bestlinreg.pl

you should have the right to read and execute it. 

Best,

Pierre

Hi Pierre, 

It's a bit late response but problem was solved as soon as I simply give permission following your comment.
Thank you! 

Best regards,
Kangjoo
