Error running smartpca from eigensoft: failed to create thread

Question

[Jautis]

Hello, I'm trying to run smartpca from the eigensoft package (v. 6.1.4). However, I get a premature termination with a "Failed to create thread" error. Any idea where this is coming from or how to fix it? I've attached below my command and the standard out. thanks in advance!

Thanks Pierre, I didn't see anywhere than the number of threads was a mandatory parameter.
