Hi Anu,

Looks like you may have a non-ascii character in your mist_filenames file - does that make sense? Feel free to attach the file if you don't see anything wrong with it.

If you don't have SGE set up it should automatically run locally - you can type "unset SGE_ROOT" to be sure.

Hope that helps!

Eelke

Subject: [FSL] MIST questions, new FSL update 5.0.10

Dear FSl support,

I'm starting to play around with MIST (FSL and python novice here), and I'm having a lot of trouble with it. I saw it's currently in Beta stage-are bugs still being worked out?

First I had some issues with the filenames config file, but after that was sorted out, I'm having trouble from the job submissions end. I've gotten error messages (posted an example below) and I'm still trying to work out how to tell MIST to not look for a SGE (not set up) and just run locally.

Help would be very much appreciated!

All the best,
Anu
