recon-all is supposed to create a symlink from the fsaverage in your /opt/freesurfer/subjects dir to you subjects dir, but sometimes this doesnt seem to work for some people. so first goto your subjects dir and check if that link is there (could be a broken link). if it isnt, then just copy the fsaverage dir from /opt/freesurer/subjects to your subjects dir (dont create a symlink).
