<hacktalkblog> @solardiz Having some issues with Jumbo 7 OpenCL support in Mac OSX 10.8.2 with ATI Radeon late 2011 macbook pro http://pastebin.com/dPbNDCiE

The pastebin gives:

[00:09:24 connection@...DOS.local:~]$ john -form:raw-md5-opencl --device:1 crackme/md5test.txt
OpenCL platform 0: Apple, 2 device(s).
Using device 1: ATI Radeon HD 6770M
OpenCL error (UNKNOWN ERROR :() in file (common-opencl.c) at line (39) - (Source kernel not found!)

Looks like "john" was found via PATH, in which case argv[0] does not
give the path to the run directory... or/and maybe the directory did not
contain the OpenCL kernels in this specific case.

I am not sure what we want to do about this, if anything.  For
non-system-wide builds/installs, we can simply state that "john" should
be invoked with the path specified (at least relative to cwd) - e.g.,
"./john" in the run directory or "../run/john" if invoking from src.

We'll need to support system-wide installs with OpenCL kernels, though.
I recall that this topic was brought up on john-users in Gentoo package
context, but I don't recall whether there was any conclusion or
determination.
