[MINC-users] Error when calling the function "bestlinreg_s"

[Qingyang Li]

Hi all,

I am new to MINC tool kit so please bear with my with my naive question.

I was recommended to using  BEaST for brain extraction, and BEaST calls
some functions from MINC tool kit for some normalization steps required
before the extraction steps. But I encounter an error which I don't know
how to get around.

The command I ran was
beast_normalize anatomical_head.mnc anatomical_head_mni.nmc
mnc_anat_to_mni.xfm -modeldir
/home2/data/PublicProgram/Atlas/mni_icbm152_t1_tal_nlin_sym_09c/

The error message I got was :

Can't use string ("-est_translations") as an ARRAY ref while "strict refs"
in use at /opt/minc/bin/bestlinreg_s line 299.

I took a look at the program "bestlinreg_s" and it's a perl code. I don't
know perl at all so I have no idea how to trouble-shoot and solve this
problem. Could you please help?

I am using Ubuntu-10.04 and Perl v5.10.1 (*) built for
x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi.

Thanks,

Yang
