<div>Hello,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am a newbie to IPOPT. I want to use IPOPT to do some simulations, in which I need to minimize a convex function subject to linear equality constraints and simple bounds. The number of variables is n^2, where n could be as large as 1000, and the number of equality constraints is 2n-1. I use Compaq Fortran 6.5 but have no idea on how to interface with IPOPT. So it would be greatly appreciated if someone can give me a step-by-step instruction from the installation of IPOPT to letting Compaq Fortran 6.5 use/recognize the compiled files.</div>
