Hi, Fslmerge is in the latest version of FSL whereas avwmerge is in earlier versions. You could navigate to the data directory with the commandline and try running bedpostx_datacheck and post that output here. Peace, Matt. -----Original Message----- From: FSL - FMRIB's Software Library [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Patrick Hales Sent: Monday, October 15, 2007 6:36 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [FSL] Problem with DTIFit Hi Thanks for that. The command 'fslmerge' isn't recognized for some reason, however, I have been able to make my 4D data file using 'avwmerge' instead. Unfortunately, when I try to process the data in DTIFit, I now get the error message: "Error: child killed: bus error". Would you be able to tell me how to fix this?
