You're going to have to ask a real question, and telling us how you've attempted to answer the question (before running to us) would help greatly.

Run it in the debugger, and let it catch the segfault.
Then look around for the cause.

I compile that code using make command so at that time it will create shuffle command and then when I try to execute that command like ./shuffle dataset it prompt me the "Segmenatation fault" msg then I try to debug it using gdb but it prompt me "no debugging symbol found" msg. I also try to execute the same code on Kububtu also but I got the same error as in Fedora.

Well since you provided the same non-answer to both responders, try this

gcc -g prog.c
gdb a.out

Or whatever you called the damn thing.
