Error running SPM realign node

[arash-ash]

Hi folks,

So I have this pipeline that has a SPM realign node. It runs OK in my laptop but when I’m running it on cluster server, it gives the following crash log,

Traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):

I have added the SMP12 path in the Matlab startup.m and it tests OK. The only thing that I have not done according to the Nipype Beginner’s Guide manual, is to install Neuro Debian (since it requires sudo for installation). Thank you for your help.

Also this is my output to nipype.get_info(),

@arash-ash

looks like Nipype is having problems grabbing your SPM version. Could you try the following in the command line?

export SPM_PATH=/path/to/spm12
python -c "from nipype.interfaces import spm; import os; spm.SPMCommand.set_mlab_paths(paths=os.environ['SPM_PATH']); spm.SPMCommand().version"

[arash-ash]

Yes you are right. I have reproduced the error in Jupyter notebook. However I can not figure out how to fix it. I attached the screen shot here,

@arash-ash what version of matlab are you running?

can you try adding %pdb to the top of the [17] block you posted above and rerunning the block? This will enable debugging mode, and a pdb prompt should appear underneath. within the pdb prompt please type doc and paste the output.

It seems nipype is running into a different matlab header

doc

The Matlab header file seems ok. what else could be the problem?!

Hi!
I have exactly the same issue!
Did you find out what the problem was?

Many thanks in advance
