Segmentation fault on Mac M1 during conversion

I have been unable to convert the model
Regardless of whether I have tried with or without quantization, or different models - unfortunately, I have had no success.

How did you install the library? Can you try clearing your Python environment and reinstalling again?

Oops.
I installed with venv and everything worked just fine.
Sorry to have bothered you!

Working in a new venv is not working fine for me

I am getting the following error while converting my local huggingface whisper model

`zsh: segmentation fault ct2-transformers-converter --model --output_dir --copy_files tokenizer.json``
