First, this is the only way to post my problems that I can find on the Ipopt home page. Maybe this message would be send to all the members on the mailing list. I'm sorry for bothering you with this mail. But if you could solve my problems, I would appriciate you for your reply.<div>
<br></div><div>I'm coding in Matlab for my master degree issue. But there was some unknown bugs in my program. I worried about that mistakes in my Primal-dual Inner Point Method codes had led these bugs. So I compiled the Ipopt matlab interface on Windows (ipopt.mexw32) on my PC. And then all the test which was from the Ipopt code (\build\Ipopt\contrib\MatlabInterface\examples) using my own compiled Ipopt matlab interface(ipopt.mexw32) has passed.</div>
<div><br></div><div>But the first running result after inputting 'clear all' in the matlab prompt is below.</div><div><div>******************************************************************************</div><div>This program contains Ipopt, a library for large-scale nonlinear optimization.</div>

My problem is that the running result of exceeding the maximum number iterations or of jumping out without any iteration happened without any regular patterns.
