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

[Simon Eskildsen]

Hi Yang,

This is actually something I stumbled upon earlier.

Try Andrew's suggestion or fix the problem by changing line 30 of the
bestlinreg_s script:

    trans       => qw/-est_translations/,

becomes:

    trans       => [qw/-est_translations/],


I would be happy if someone could make the change in the repository.

Simon
