"Illegal instruction error" when I use qiime --help

Thanks for the info @JoeyKim --- I am going to reproduce some steps here that @jairideout outlined for detailed diagnosis of this type of problem:

Check if you have gdb installed by simply running gdb. If you receive an error stating "no such command", you'll need to install gdb. There's instructions here, you may need your system administrator to install it for you depending on your user permissions.
Once you have gdb installed, run:
```
gdb -ex r --args python -c "import qiime2.sdk; qiime2.sdk.PluginManager();"
```
This should hopefully reproduce the error you reported earlier, and then drop you into a gdb debugger session.
From within the gdb interactive shell, run:
```
bt
```
Run the quit command to exit the gdb session.

Please send all of the output from steps 2 and 3 above (please copy and paste!).

Thanks!
