Hi Neda,

You have two options:

  1. If you want to use the original (pre-compiled) binaries, follow the installation instructions in the manual, then run touch $HOME/.lcmodel/license as per the LCModel homepage. You will need to include key = 210387309 in every control file that you create.

  2. You can follow the compilation instructions in the thread you linked. @martin has updated the recommended instructions since his initial post to improve numerical agreement with Provencher’s pre-compiled version, see here:
    Building LCModel - #9 by martin
    and
    Building LCModel - #13 by martin
    You will still need to add the key = 210387309 to every control file, but @alex has figured out a way to hack the source code to bypass this key check altogether.

You should not “mix and match” the two methods.

Edit: Assuming this is short-TE proton data, it looks like you have data with a very poor linewidth. Is this data representative of your entire dataset?

Edit2: There are specific settings for muscle spectra (sptype = muscle-4) which use an internal basis set to include IMCL and EMCL. The manual has pretty extensive documentation on this. Don’t use an externally provided separate basis set.
