AUGUSTUS - Segmentation fault error on OS X 10.9.5

Dear all,
I am having trouble with running Augustus 3.0.1 on my Mac-pro OS X 10.9.5 Mavericks. When I call augustus as: augustus --AUGUSTUS_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/augustus/3.0.1/libexec/config --species=neurospora_crassa sequence.fa
The program terminated with the following message: Segmentation fault: 11
I search and found out that this bug has been fixed since the previous versions of Augustus? Does anyone know how can I solve this problem?
Thanks

Hi Tuan, I will try to find out what's going wrong. First of all did you compile Augustus yourself or did you download the binaries?

Hi Lizzy. Thanks for the reply. I installed Augustus via home-brew: brew install augustus.
After installation if I ran augustus without the input file (e.g. augustus --species=help) everything seem file. Just when I tried to run with the data then the problem occurred.

Please install the current version of AUGUSTUS (i.e. compile it, yourself, instead of using brew). If the problem persists, please make a small test data set available to us, so that we can verify it and try to find the bug.
Best regards,
Katharina

Hi Katharina,
I followed the advise and tried to install the lastest version of augustus (v 3.0.3) but got the following warning and errors when trying to compile the software:
../include/hints.hh:147:7: warning: equality comparison result unused [-Wunused-comparison]
name == "";
../include/hints.hh:147:7: note: use '=' to turn this equality comparison into an assignment
name == "";
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/../include/c++/v1/algorithm:685:97: error: invalid operands to binary expression
('const OptionListItem' and 'const OptionListItem')
_LIBCPP_INLINE_VISIBILITY bool operator()(const _T1& __x, const _T1& __y) const {return __x < __y;}
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/../include/c++/v1/algorithm:685:97: error: invalid operands to binary expression
('const GBFeature' and 'const GBFeature')
_LIBCPP_INLINE_VISIBILITY bool operator()(const _T1& __x, const _T1& __y) const {return __x < __y;}
Do you have any idea how can I fix this?
Regards,
Tuan

Have you followed the compilation instructions for OS X in the Makefile:
remove -static from src/Makefile for MAC users
remove -g -gdb from CFLAGS
?

I did removed -g -gdb from CFLAGS. However I could not find -static from scr/Makefile so I could not remove this.
The same errors still appeared as I tried to compile augustus.

Hi Tuan, I don't have this error message when compiling with mac, so its hard to check what is happening. What g++ compiler version do you have? I'm using g++ (MacPorts gcc47 4.7.3_5) 4.7.3 (you can see it by typing "g++ --version").
If you have an older one, upgrade and try again. Let me know if that helps

Hi Lizzy. I have GCC 4.9.2 installed. I downgraded to GCC 4.7 and tried to compile augustus again but still the same errors occurred.

Same problem fix, plus another problem
I originally had the same problem using the native Mac g++ compiler:

Code: Select all

Configured with: --prefix=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.2.1
Apple LLVM version 6.0 (clang-600.0.56) (based on LLVM 3.5svn)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin14.0.0
Thread model: posix
I removed -g and -ggdb from CFLAGS, but I too do not see a -static flag anywhere in /src/Makefile.
I downloaded g++ 4.9.2 using fink. I now get a different error:

Code: Select all

properties.cc: In function ‘std::string findLocationOfSelfBinary()’:
properties.cc:635:5: error: ‘uint32’ was not declared in this scope
     uint32 size = static_cast<uint32>(sizeof(path));
     ^
properties.cc:636:37: error: ‘size’ was not declared in this scope
     if (_NSGetExecutablePath(path, &size) == 0){
^
Any ideas? Thanks.

For those with similar problems, using g++ 4.9.2, and rolling back to augustus-3.0.1 fixed my problem.
