I am not sure what changed but QC was able to run, and AFNI opened! I do now receive the fatal signal 10 message when trying to run the next script in the pipeline though unfortunately (DWI_do_02.sh) .

Thanks Rick! We can correspond over email if this only pertains to me.

++ If you are using XQuartz 2.7.10 (or later), and AFNI crashes when
+ opening windows, or you cannot type text into AFNI popup windows,
+ you might need to set an environment variable to solve this problem:
+ setenv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH /opt/X11/lib/flat_namespace # tcsh
+ export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/X11/lib/flat_namespace # bash
+ This command is best put in your startup ~/.cshrc file, so that
+ it will be invoked for every (t)csh shell you open (mutatis mutandis
+ for the bash shell, of course).
+
+ If things are OK and you want to avoid having this warning message
+ pollute your terminal, use this:
+ setenv AFNI_SKIP_DYLD_WARNING YES # tcsh
+ export AFNI_SKIP_DYLD_WARNING=YES # bash
