I'm posting this issue here as the solutions suggested in the forum for other segmentation fault issues are not applicable in this case.
I am try to run PhyML to optimize the branch length and rate while using a user input for the tree. I get the following message:
Command line: /home/chtra/Dropbox/phyml-master/src/phyml -i input.phy -d aa -m JTT -u user_tree.nwk -o lr
