AWS IoT Device Client Segmentation fault

[veigaMak]

Describe the bug

When trying to follow the Get Started with AWS IoT tutorial, I've replaced the Cloud9 instance with my own Raspberrypi. I manage to do everything until the end of the 3.3. For some reason the aws-iot-device-client service does not work. I tried to run directly the executable (sudo /sbin/aws-iot-device-client --config-file /etc/.aws-iot-device-client/aws-iot-device-client.conf) and I got a "Segmentation fault" error.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install a clean version of RaspberryOS lite
2. Install cmake, libssl-dev, git
3. Install AWS iot sdk (is this necessary?)
4. Install and configure AWS CLI
5. Install AWS iot device client
6. Execute the setup.sh script

Hello @veigaMak , thank you for reaching out to us. To answer your question, no the issue you have linked should not related since it was resolved in previous client version update.

Give us some time to reproduce the issue and find the root cause. Most likely it is an setup issue but I can share more details once I reproduce the issue and solve it.
