You're asking a lot.

Basically, you use a debugger. Since you did not specify an OS I'll assume you have
gdb. You must have compiled the file
Code:
gcc -g -o myfile myfile.c

in order for symbols to be available. If you are analyzing a core dump of somebody else's code you are in trouble.

The core dump file is called core
Code:
gdb myfile core

This will show you a backtrace (stack dump) of the call tree that lead to the crash.
You will have to find using the stack dump where in the code (not in a C library) the crash occurred. In other words the last line of the program's code that actually led to the crash.

try man gdb
and

NAME
Bio::Tools::Analysis::SimpleAnalysisBase - abstract superclass for SimpleAnalysis implementations SYNOPSIS
# not to be run directly DESCRIPTION
This class is a generic implementation of SimpleAnalysisI and should be used as a base class for specific implementations. Modules implementing SimpleAnalysisBase only need to provide specific _init(), _run() and result() methods, plus any get/set methods for parameters to the analysis program. SEE ALSO

The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _ new Usage : $job->new(...) Returns : a new analysis object, Args : none (but an implementation may choose to add arguments representing parameters for the analysis program. Each key value of must have a method implemented for it in a subclass. A seq () method is provided here as this will probably be needed by all sequence analysis programs seq Usage : $job->seq() Returns : a Bio::PrimarySeqI implementing sequence object, or void Args : None, or a Bio::PrimarySeqI implementing object analysis_name Usage : $analysis->analysis_name(); Returns : The analysis name Arguments : none analysis_spec Usage : $analysis->analysis_spec(); Returns : a hash reference to a hash of analysis parameters. See Bio::SimpleAnalysisI for a list of recommended key values. Arguments: none clear Usage : $analysis->clear(); Returns : true value on success Arguments : none Purpose : to remove raw results from a previous analysis so that an analysis can be repeated with different parameters. input_spec Usage : $analysis->input_spec(); Returns : a reference to an array of hashes of analysis parameters. See Bio::SimpleAnalysisI for a list of recommended key values. Arguments : none result_spec Usage : $analysis->result_spec(); Returns : a reference to a hashes of resultformats. See Bio::SimpleAnalysisI for a list of recommended key values. The key values can be used as parameters to the result() method, the values provide descriptions.
