Hi,
Thank you for your repsonse and advise.
I spoke with our systems manager about your questions of OS, hardware and
FSL version. We also tried again together to locate and fix the error. We ran
into the following problems:
The program feat starts a lot of featX_YY programs. One of them is
feat3b_flame using -t ./.flame as a command file option. However at the time
of submitting the .flame file only contains dummy as a program to execute. So
the jobs submitted to the cluster all fail. Afterwards the .flame files contains
flameo commands. We have no idea where the latter come from. We found line
in feat where dummy is added to the .flame file but we don't understand why
this is done.
We think this is the reason why the error /apps/fsl/current/bin/flameo --
cope=filtered_func_data --
> vc=var_filtered_func_data --dvc=tdof_filtered_func_data --mask=mask --
> ld=stats --dm=design.mat --cs=design.grp --tc=design.con --runmode=fe
occurs in the GUI.
Indeed when we run one of these flameo commands directly from the
command line it works. We tested our hypothesis by changing the fsl_sub
script to execute all jobs without submitting to the grid and indeed this too
worked fine. For some reason no dummy commands were written to the .flame
file at that time...
Do you have a solution for this problem?
OS: Clustervision OS 5.0 (based on Redhat Enterprise 5 and CentOS 5)
Arch: 64bit
FSL: 4.1.2
kernel: 2.6.18
Many thanks
Judith & Bart (systems manager)

Hi,
This is a very strange looking error - I suspect either that there is
something wrong with your computer or file system mounting, or it is a
weird operating system that we've not seen before. Exactly what
hardware and OS are you running, and which version of FSL? Have you
tried rebooting your computer?
Cheers.
