segmentation fault with SIFT standalone

Question

[arronslacey]

Hi everyone - I am trying to decipher why I am getting a segmentation fault when trying to use SIFT.

I am using the test fasta file, and substituion file they provide. I am using the swissport database which I can successfully BLAST against on my system.

Here is what I get when trying to use SIFT:

arron@arron-Ideapad-Z570 ~/Phd/programs/sift4.0.3b $ bin/SIFT_for_submitting_fasta_seq.csh test/lacI.fasta db/swissprot.fa test/lacI.subst 2.75
tail is lacI.fasta
query is /home/arron/Phd/programs/sift4.0.3b/tmp/lacI.fasta.query
query length 360
entered read_psiblastuntillat
Segmentation fault
tell me i've entered
info_on_seqs
fawegwa
cannot open file /home/arron/Phd/programs/sift4.0.3b/tmp/lacI.alignedfasta 
Output in /home/arron/Phd/programs/sift4.0.3b/tmp/lacI.SIFTprediction

I've been trying for the last two hours to find some source code where the error is handled, but I have been unsuccessful. Does anybody have any experience with SIFT segmentation faults, or are able to point me to the source code so that I can see what is going wrong?

Thanks very much.
