[BuildTools] Build problem on Ubuntu - No .Plo files

[Kipp Martin]

Hi Jonathon:

I build  OS on Ubuntu  all the time with no problems. Could you provide 
more detail of exactly what you did? Are you working with stable, trunk, 
release?

If, for example, trunk did you do the following:

1) Checkout

svn co https://projects.coin-or.org/svn/OS/trunk os-trunk

2.
cd os-trunk
cd ThirdParty/ASL
./get.ASL
cd ..
cd ThirdParty/Blas
./get.Blas
cd ..
cd ThirdParty/Lapack
./get.Lapack
cd ..
cd ThirdParty/Mumps
./get.Mumps
cd ../..
./configure

OS is one of the most complicated projects. You may wish to check out a 
much  simpler project such as Clp first and see if it works. My guess is 
that there is something more going on that just an OS problem.

As the user below reports, are you building on a Virtual Machine? If so 
please try to avoid mapped directories. That can lead to problems.

Regards
