Whenever I invoke automake, it gives a segmentation fault (code dumped) error. Due to this, I am unable to compile and install anything from the source!
For example:
$> automake --version
automake (GNU automake) 1.16.5

Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Note the error at the end!
My system details are:
$> lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu Noble Numbat (development branch)
Release: 24.04
Codename: noble
$> uname -a
Linux vinay-desktop 6.8.0-11-generic #11-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Wed Feb 14 00:29:05 UTC 2024 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Initially, I thought this was a bug, but it looks like this is a problem only with my system!
Any pointers? Am I missing any package or any failed dependency?
