Getting 'Bus Error: 10' When Running The Prody Package On A Multiple Sequence Alignment

Question

[Harpalss]

I am using the prody package to do some co-evolution analysis on my multiple sequence alignment (MSA).

When I parse the MSA file using prody I get a Bus error: 10

Code:

from prody import *
msa = parseMSA('test_aln.fasta')

This outputs the following in my terminal:

>>> from prody import *
>>> msa = parseMSA('cbpa_aln.fasta')
Bus error: 10

I can't figure out why i am getting this error. I've tried restarting my machine and re-installing prody but to no avail.

A bus error usually indicates a programming error that most likely comes from a section of the code that was written in C and it has to do with memory access/management.

It is a serious and unrecoverable error that you probably cannot solve on your own. You should contact the developer.
