Unable to convert/visualize pairs file

[skoren]

I don't have a bam alignment but instead have a pairs file. However, whenever I convert it and try to load it, I get a segmentation fault. I tried using a sample pairs file from https://github.com/4dn-dcic/pairix/blob/master/samples/4dn.bsorted.chr21_22_only.largechr.pairs with the command: cat 4dn.bsorted.chr21_22_only.largechr.pairs | Pretext/PretextMap -o mapped.pretext with PretextMap Version 0.0.41 and still get a segmentation fault when loading this file:

$  /Applications/PretextView.app/Contents/MacOS/PretextView 
Segmentation fault: 11

I can load VGP pretaxt files w/o issue so I think my installation is working correctly. I assume I'm doing something simple incorrectly and would appreciate any advice.

Ensure you're using the latest version of PretextMap and PretextView to avoid compatibility issues.
Ensure the file has a valid header.
By systematically verifying the file format and using a minimal test file, you can pinpoint whether the issue lies in the .pairs file, PretextMap, or PretextView.
i hope this will help @skoren if not I would love for any help.
