AUGUSTUS error message: Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Hi, everyone.

I am attempting to make a gene prediction using AUGUSTUS. For practice, I tried to perform a gene prediction on publicly available sequence data a fly, referencing Drosophila melanogaster data.

augustus --species=fly sequence.fasta > augustus.test.gff

Then I got the following error message.

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Could you tell me how to solve this problem?

hard to tell without more info but my best guess would be it's running out of memory. So run this job with more memory (or on a machine with more memory)

Hi.

Thank you for your advice. My PC has 128GB of total memory and I don't have any other jobs running in parallel. Does gene prediction by AUGUSTUS use that much memory?

What version of Augustus do you use and how did you install it?

I installed version 3.2.2 from Bioconda. However, when I used version 3.4.0 through the Singularity container, this error was resolved. Thank you very much.
