[RESOLVED] Issues with hcp_icafix

I have difficulties running hcp_icafix. Looks like that I maybe don’
t have access to some functions?

Unable to find MATLAB Compiler Runtime
/gpfs/gibbs/pi/n3/software/fsl/fix/call_matlab.sh

Is it a problem with my account?

My call is:

qunex hcp_icafix \
    --batchfile=/gpfs/gibbs/pi/n3/Studies/Pushkarskaya.RA/processing/batch_hcp_04012024_pb1047.txt\
    --sessionsfolder=/gpfs/gibbs/pi/n3/Studies/Pushkarskaya.RA/sessions \
    --hcp_icafix_bolds="1,2,3,4,5,6,7" \
    --scheduler="SLURM,time=1-00:00:00,ntasks=1,cpus-per-task=1,mem-per-cpu=40000,partition=day"

The error log is: /gpfs/gibbs/pi/n3/Studies/Pushkarskaya.RA/processing/logs/comlogs/error_hcp_icafix_1_pb1047_2024-05-30_00.15.27.192199.log

Thank you in advance.

I tried running

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:}\
> /vast/palmer/apps/avx2/software/MATLAB/2023a/runtime/glnxa64:\
> /vast/palmer/apps/avx2/software/MATLAB/2023a/bin/glnxa64:\

> /vast/palmer/apps/avx2/software/MATLAB/2023a/extern/bin/glnxa64"

But it did not help. Same error.

Helen,

it seem you are trying to run QuNex outside of the container, this is not advised. Please always use the container:

qunex_container hcp_icafix \
    --batchfile=/gpfs/gibbs/pi/n3/Studies/Pushkarskaya.RA/processing/batch_hcp_04012024_pb1047.txt\
    --sessionsfolder=/gpfs/gibbs/pi/n3/Studies/Pushkarskaya.RA/sessions \
    --hcp_icafix_bolds="1,2,3,4,5,6,7" \
    --container="<provide the path to the latest container (0.99.2d right now) here>" \
    --scheduler="SLURM,time=1-00:00:00,ntasks=1,cpus-per-task=1,mem-per-cpu=40000,partition=day"

Thank you. Will make sure in the future.
Trying now.

Hi Jure,
I tried several version of qunex container, and was able to move further. Unfortunately, still getting an error:

I can see that Rachael had some difficulties with a similar call, and you were able to resolve it. Do I need to wait for the latest container?

hcp_icafix works fine on pretty much all systems with 0.99.2d, a bunch of other users as well as ourselves are running it without any issues. Can you upload full logs here?

Also, you are resorting to the old “single fix” that was deprecated by HCP folks (you are doing this by explicitly setting --hcp_icafix_bolds="1,2,3,4,5,6,7"), why are you setting this and not leaving it blank so QuNex uses the defaults (which is to perform fix over all BOLDs)? To use “multi fix” which is the traditional way to go, you need to leave the parameter empty, of if you want to use only a subset of bolds set --hcp_icafix_bolds="fMRI_CONCAT_ALL=1,2,3,4,5,6,7". Replace fMRI_CONCAT_ALL with whatever you want the name to be, for example fMRI_CONCAT_REST if you are concatenating REST BOLDs only. See hcp_icafix — QuNex documentation for additional details.

Best, Jure

Trying it no.

Unfortunately, still struggling.

I switch a Matlab version to

--hcp_matlab_mode="octave" \

It noted an error in the log:

aerror: pkg: cannot create file 
aerror: called from
a    pkg at line 510 column 13
a    /home/hp245/.octaverc at line 5 column 1

but still seems to go further in the process. Fingers crossed :slight_smile:

Yes, Octave might work. I cannot help you regarding MATLAB not working:

Warning: MATLAB was unable to open a pseudo-tty: Unknown error [0,1].
The unix() and ! commands will not work in this MATLAB session.  Other commands which depend upon unix() and ! will also fail.  Your system may be running low on resources.  If the problem persists after a reboot, check with your system administrator and confirm that your pty subsystem is properly configured.

This is a system issue. You should contact your system administrators.

Regarding the commands, the last one makes the most sense (at a glance), I do not know the details of your dataset. You can omit parelements here as icafix does not use it in that way.

Best, Jure

Thank you! Will do.
