Composer Update - RuntimeException

Question

After installing Composer, I try to do a composer update that tells me this:

 [Symfony\Component\Process\Exception\RuntimeException] The process has been signaled with signal "11". 

I am running OSX 10.6.8 (old, I know). What causes this error?

composer self-update just fine.

Answer 1

signal 11 is a segmentation error . I think there is a problem with your php version.

Can you show us the output of php --version ? and can you update it if this is not the latest version?

Answer 2

You may have permission issues. Try running the command as sudo :

 sudo composer update
