hi, that line from the wiki appears to be in tcsh syntax, you are using bash, which is the default shell of most operating systems. you can try either in bash, like this:
if [ ! -e fsaverage ]; then ln -s $FREESURFER_HOME/subjects/fsaverage; fi ...or in tcsh, which you might need to install first, then invoke it, like: tcsh if (! -e fsaverage) ln -s $FREESURFER_HOME/subjects/fsaverage regards, andreas On Wednesday, March 28, 2012 12:40:38 Ahmed, F, Me <fah...@sun.ac.za> wrote: > Hello, > > I'm trying to run qdec on my own data and I'm trying to create fsaverage. > Following the wiki tutorial, I copied the command: > > if (! -e fsaverage) ln -s $FREESURFER_HOME/subjects/fsaverage > > but I got the following error: > > bash: syntax error near unexpected token `ln' > > Can anyone help me in understanding why this happened? > > Thanks very much, > Fatima > > > > ________________________________ > E-pos vrywaringsklousule > > Hierdie e-pos mag vertroulike inligting bevat en mag regtens geprivilegeerd > wees en is slegs bedoel vir die persoon aan wie dit geadresseer is.
