 Dear Andreas:

 I just need one thing: ma57ad.f needs to be linked with a lib called
 libmetis.a, which I have placed in the HSL directory
 I just do not know how to make the link.

 If you compiled your own Harwell library with MA57, you should not put
 anything into the HSL directory.  Assume, that you compiled a library
 libhsl.a which contains MA57, and that you also have libmetis.a, and put
 them into your $HOME/lib.  Then, it should work if you use the following
 flag for Ipopt's configure:

 {{{
 --with-hsl="-L$HOME/lib -lhsl -lmetis"
 }}}

 If you need more libraries to link with MA57 (blas?), add those compiler
 flags here, too.

 To figure out what compilers flags work you can also just compile a simple
 test program that you write independent of Ipopt, which simply calls one
 of the MA57 routines.

 If you get error messages still from Ipopt's configure, the instructions
 at

 https://projects.coin-or.org/BuildTools/wiki/user-
 troubleshooting#ProblemsDuringConfiguration

 might be useful to find out what it going wrong.

 Regards,

 Andreas
