Hello everyone,

I have problems in running RaxML-ng and I don't really don't know how to solve it.
I used the latest version, RAxML-NG v. 1.2.0. I ran the program in window terminal.
I always encounter issues during the initial branch length optimization process. The process keeps getting interrupted with an error message that says "terminate called recursively, aborted." or "segmentation fault".

Hi Eun Jee,

please send me your MSA and I will have a look.

Best,
Oleksiy

Hi Eun Jee,

thanks for sending the input files. I could not reproduce the problem on mu machine.
So probably it is specific to the novel Intel CPU that you have. It could be that pre-compiled
version does not work anymore.

So please try to compile raxml-ng from scratch:
