OK, did that, and here are the messages (slightly edited for clarity):

file system,
and is not recognised as a supported dataset name.
ERROR 4: `/home/harb/Documents/Varma et al fig 7_modified.tif' does not
exist in the file system,
and is not recognised as a supported dataset name.

ERROR 4: `/home/harb/Downloads/meanan/meanann.txt' does not exist in the

Segmentation fault

So, it's causing a segmentation fault when it can't find a data source?
Seems extreme. Could be handled better? I know this other GIS software that
