Dear MRtrix3 team,
I am receiving an error while running the dwi2response function which is below:
Would it be due to an uncompleted installation of the software?! I tried to re-install the software but I ran into more error:
I looked for the proper folder where I previously installed MRtrix to run an update but couldn’t find it, however I see MRtrix folder under nipype installation folder.
Any thought would be much appreciated.
Sincerely,
Saman
Hi Saman,
Problem #1:
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/local/bin/src/dwi2response'
suggests that you have manually moved the dwi2response script into /usr/local/bin/. This won’t work: The bulk of the dwi2response code resides in <mrtrix3_dir>/scripts/src/dwi2response/, and is dynamically queried & run whenever dwi2response is run. This keeps the code for different algorithms separate from one another, and you can even write your own response function estimation algorithm and it will automatically become available as an option in dwi2response (your algorithm’s options will even appear in the help page!). But because this directory can’t be found based on a relative path from dwi2response itself, the script crashes out (I’ll add a more elegant error message). You’re better off adding <mrtrix3_dir>/scripts/ to your PATH environment variable.
The second screenshot doesn’t give us enough information to know what is wrong; the better solution is to capture the entire text output and copy&paste here, wrapped in between triple back-ticks like this for better readability:
```
sh-3.2# ./build
( 1/427) release/cmd/dwi2mask.o
( 2/427) ...
```
On the off chance that you updated MRtrix3 from a pre-March installation, there may be additional steps needed; e.g. you can try re-running the configure script prior to the build script.
Cheers
Rob
Thanks a lot Bob.
Apparently I don’t have a mrtrix3 directory to correct for the address. I’ve followed the instruction on upgrade link and re-running the configuration, and here is the output:

I think the problem here is that you’re using too old a version of Qt. As mentioned on the MacOSX installation page, you need at least version 5.1 - preferably the latest available. I think this is what’s throwing off the build script, since for some reason your version of Qt instructs the compiler to target a much older version of MacOSX (-mmacosx-version-min=10.7), when the C++ feature we rely on (std::future) is only available from MacOSX 10.8. There’s a good chance a recent version of Qt would not target such an old version of MacOSX.
If you thought you had indstalled Qt5, then refer to this post for instructions on making sure MRtrix3 builds against it rather than Qt4.
Thanks a lot J-Donald. The problem was the QT version. I re-installed the whole package plus QT, as well as setting the paths accordingly and the problem is resolved, Thanks to you all wonderful team. Please keep it up, folks.
Sincerely,
Saman
