Whenever I invoke automake, it gives a segmentation fault (code dumped) error. Due to this, I am unable to compile and install anything from the source!

For example:

$> automake --version
automake (GNU automake) 1.16.5

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Note the error at the end!

My system details are:

$> lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu Noble Numbat (development branch)
Release: 24.04
Codename: noble


$> uname -a
Linux vinay-desktop 6.8.0-11-generic #11-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Wed Feb 14 00:29:05 UTC 2024 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Initially, I thought this was a bug, but it looks like this is a problem only with my system!

Any pointers? Am I missing any package or any failed dependency?

  • AFAIK automake is a perl script - does /usr/bin/perl --version work, or does that also segfault? – steeldriver Mar 27 '24 at 12:31
  • Ubuntu 24.04 (noble) doesn't yet exist; it's currently the development release Ubuntu noble and remains that until it reaches RC state which isn't expected until after 18 April 2024, and isn't on-topic here until release on 25 April 2024. https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/noble-numbat-release-schedule/35649 Please refer https://askubuntu.com/help/on-topic. For support issues with Ubuntu noble you'll need to use a #ubuntu-next or #ubuntu+1 site (IRC, UF etc) Ubuntu noble is still in alpha, with the beta released delayed – guiverc Apr 04 '24 at 23:41
