JTR – John The Ripper Compile Error – common-opencl.h:8:19: fatal error: CL/cl.h: No such file or directory
Recently while attempting to get John The Ripper 1.7.9 jumbo-7 working on a Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Linux server with multiple AMD GPU cards in it I ran across an error during the compile process. The error complained about the VL/cl.h file not being installed and thus could not finishing compiling. Below I describe the compile error, how to locate the Ubuntu package that installs the necessary file to move past the previously mentioned compile error, and then how to install the correct package.
