Assertion failed: (pkey)

[BobWay]

I successfully built ripplegen. However, every time I run it I get an assertion failed: (pkey) message. It doesn't matter what pattern I'm using. Is there any other bit of setup I missed? I'm compiling with clang on a mac. The only changes I made were to add boost include and lib paths to the makefile.

So it turns out, the assertion only fails most of the time. If I repeat the command over and over, eventually it works. I guess I should debug why myself. :-) Anyway, thanks for the code. I successfully generated some vanity addresses.

A good place to start is probably to figure out which condition caused GenerateRootDeterministicKey to return NULL. I refactored all that key code from the original rippled project but didn't get around to thoroughly testing it nor adding more detailed error messages. But chances are good OpenSSL isn't liking something.

Any luck finding out why this happens. I am getting this issue still. on centos 7.

I haven’t run that code in several years. But I remember that I had an issue running it in multi-threaded mode. Running in single threaded mode stopped the issue for me. Not sure if that is exactly what you are seeing, but it might be worth a try just-in-case. Bob Way Ripple bob@ripple.com <mailto:ben@ripple.com> | ripple.com <http://ripple.com/>

Thanks. Strange. I did run it in single threaded mode and still got the error.
this is how I ran

./ripplegen rCat 1

# CPUs detected: 32
#
# Running 1 thread.
#
# Generating seed for pattern "rCat"...
#
ripplegen: key.h:32: CKey::CKey(const uint128&): Assertion `pkey' failed.

Here is the thing. I know someone who runs it without issues. I am running on centos 7. Strange!
