Hello,  
I encounter an unclear error message when I use the x2sys\_put command.

First I created, sucssefully, a tbf file containing the indexes for the data tracks.  
This is through:  
gmt x2sys\_binlist \*.mgd77 -TMGD77 -D -V \> Ifermer\_all.tbf

After that, in order to add the data tracks to the data base, I used the command:  
gmt x2sys\_put Ifremer\_all.tbf -F -V -TMGD77

For that I get the following error message:  
ERROR: Caught signal number 11 (Segmentation fault: 11) at

What does it mean and how should I resolve it?  
I use gmt 6.2. Should I update the version?

Thank you all.

That is a definitively big YES. The problem may or may not have been solved meanwhile but only last version can tell that.

Thank you @Joaquim.  
I’m not sure why, but it seems that the problem was with the GMT 2.0 program I’ve installed through Homebrew. once I replaced it with the one I downloaded from the application bundle - problem solved.
