Freesurfer distributes ‘fsaverage’ under $FREESURFER_HOME/subjects directory.
recon-all should create symbolic link to $FREESURFER_HOME/subjects/fsaverage
under $SUBJECTS_DIR.
This is from your recon-all.log
“
setenv SUBJECTS_DIR /usr/local/freesurfer/subjects
FREESURFER_HOME /usr/local/freesurfer
Actual FREESURFER_HOME /usr/local/Freesurfer
“
You are setting SUBJECTS_DIR to your Freesurfer install directory. It is a good
idea to set SUBJECTS_DIR to some other directory that you have write permission.
Your recon-all failed because of “Too many levels of symbolic links”. Can you
check what you have under $FREESURFER_HOME/subjects?
>ls -l $FREESURFER_HOME/subjects
You should have these in the directory:

Your recon-all should have created this link ‘fsaverage ->
/usr/local/freesurfer/subjects/fsaverage’ in the directory as well. Remove
link. Set SUBJECTS_DIR to some other directory and restart recon-all.
Best,

Hello FreeSurfer Developers,
I'm attempting to run recon-all command, but I get the following error when I
run the "recon-all -i sub.mgz -s sub1 -all" command:

Does anyone have any thoughts on how to trouble-shoot this one? I've attached
