featureCounts segmentation fault on Arch Linux I am encountering a segmentation fault when attempting to run featureCounts from subread-1.6.3 on even small test data. I installed featureCounts from SourceForge using the precompiled Linux binary.

Most existing help threads on this topic (1, 2, 3) show some splash screen output before the error, but I get a segmentation fault before any error is shown.

$ featureCounts -T 1 -p -t exon -g gene_id -a /data/sai/annots/musmus_cdna_all_ensembl92.gtf -o test.txt test.bam test2.bam
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
I resolved this problem by installing from source; I assume the precompiled binary was not compatible with the Arch Linux kernel.
