problem with volume_segment

Dear Luis,

Fieldtrip makes use of SPM2 (i.e. SPM version 2) for the  
segmentation. The segmentation is then used to construct a volume  
conduction model.

There are some incompatibilities between SPM2 and later versions.  
Please check that you have the correct version of SPM.

For segmenting, a temporary file is written to disk and then SPM is  
called. Although I am not an expert on SPM, the error message "???  
Cant map image file" seems to indicate that there is a problem with  
reading the temporary file. You can use the matlab debugger to stop  
on the line where you encounter the problem and look at the problem  
in more detail.

best regards,
Robert
