Hi Malcolm,
Yes, this is an unfortunate bug, but I've been playing around with a few
options and the following seems to be the best patch. This assumes you also
have FS v6 installed and, in this case, FS_53 and FS_60 point to the
respective freesurfer base directories:
rm -rf $FS_53/mni
cp -r $FS_60/mni $FS_53/
Then, customize the 5.3 SetUpFreeSurfer.sh (or whatever you use to source FS)
to ensure that the following variables are set in a 5.3 environment:
export PERL5LIB="$FS_53/mni/share/perl5"
export MNI_PERL5LIB="$FS_53/mni/share/perl5"
Hope that helps,
Andrew

Subject: [Freesurfer] Supporting older versions of FreeSurfer (5.3) on newer OSs
External Email - Use Caution
External Email - Use Caution
All,
We're setting up a new cluster (based on CentOS 8) but have many users that
still want to run older versions of FreeSurfer (5.3 and 5.3-HCP).
We're hitting a perl error which appears to be a known issue with newer
versions of Perl:
[mtobias@login02 mri]$ mri_nu_correct.mni --n 1 --proto-iters 1000 --distance
50 --no-rescale --i orig.mgz --o orig_nu.mgz
/mnt/beegfs/scratch/mtobias/mri
/export/freesurfer/freesurfer-5.3.0-HCP/bin/mri_nu_correct.mni
--n 1 --proto-iters 1000 --distance 50 --no-rescale --i orig.mgz --o orig_nu.mgz

Can't use 'defined(@array)' (Maybe you should just omit the defined()?) at
/export/freesurfer/freesurfer-5.3.0-HCP/mni/bin/nu_estimate_np_and_em line 165.
nu_correct: crashed while running nu_estimate_np_and_em (termination
status=65280)
ERROR: nu_correct
One fix suggested for Ubuntu users is to install an older version of Perl.
While we've tried that on our system, it seems the perl scripts are hard-wired
to use /usr/bin/perl:
[root@mgt bin]# head -1 nu_estimate_np_and_em
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
So without replacing the system perl on every system in the cluster, is anyone
aware of any other work-arounds for this issue?
Cheers,
Malcolm
