Setting a hybrid style gives me a "Segmentation fault"

Trying to set different styles of interaction with the following code

pair_style hybrid gran/hooke/history 1e-4 NULL 1e-5 NULL 0.0 1 lj/cut 2.5e-6
pair_coeff * * gran/hooke/history
pair_coeff 1 3 lj/cut 1.0 1.0 2.5e-6

gives me a segmentation fault.

This is a NUFEB simulation, where I am trying to simulate different interactions between cells (atoms type 1) and ganular activated carbon (atoms type 3).

NUFEB uses an outdated version of LAMMPS, so I cannot update LAMMPS to a newer one. Could just the older version be the reason for this problem? Or should I specify some other parameter that LAMMPS is not finding, just reporting that it can’t find its value with “address not mapped”?

It is impossible to say so from remote. It could also be a bug in the NUFEB code.
Please see 11.4. Debugging crashes — LAMMPS documentation for some methods to narrow down where segfaults happen.

If you want further help, you need to create a complete, small input deck that a) causes the segfault and b) only contains commands that are available in the latest LAMMPS release, and post it here.

An alternative to get assistance would be to post an issue in the NUFEB development repository. This project seems to be under active development, so chances are much better that the developers there know where possible issues could be.
