Subject: Re: issues with mpirun

>You did it right as far as stated here. Did you "make clean" after editing Makefile though?


Yes, I did a "make clean" before compiling and I am sure that I used the binary I created before.

Luckily I was able to fix the problem today. In addition to installing OpenMP and mpich with apt-get (as described in the tutorial) I had to compile the mpich sourcecode (http://www.mpich.org/) manually. After compiling mpich I didn't need to recompile JtR again, but was able to run john with up to 8 kernels with mpi.
However, I don't really know which part of mpich was missing (and why this wasn't installed using apt-get). As it was not necessary to recompile john it must be something like a runtime lib or an additional binary. 
For future development it would be useful if john could print a warning if someone tries to use mpirun without having all necessary libraries,...

Benchmark result: 
raw-md5: 30 000K C/s (single core)
raw-md5: 190 000K C/s (8x MPI)
