                  <div><br>
                  </div>
                  <div>Thanks for your reply. I am still having problems
                    but the problem changed a little. I am able to
                    successfully build ipopt trunk version with ma77 but
                    cannot solve the optimization problem with it, here
                    is a breakdown:</div>
                  <div><br>
                  </div>
                  <div>- I checked out the trunk version with svn, and
                    placed a &nbsp; &nbsp;coinhsl &nbsp;directory into
                    $[ipopt_dir]/ThirdParty/HSL/ &nbsp; whose contents are
                    the contents of &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;coinhsl-2012.12.21.tar.gz.</div>
                  <div><br>
                  </div>
                  <div>- run ./get.Metis and ./get.Mumps &nbsp;from their
                    directories.</div>
                  <div><br>
                  </div>
                  <div>- Create build directory in $[ipopt_dir].</div>
                  <div><br>
                  </div>
                  <div>- Run ../configure, &nbsp;make, &nbsp;make test, &nbsp;make
                    install &nbsp; from within &nbsp; $[ipopt_dir]/build/</div>
                  <div><br>
                  </div>
                  <div>Using the newly created libraries and include
                    files in the build directory, I am able to solve a
                    test problem succesfully with ma27, ma57, and mumps.
                    However, when I try solving the problem with ma77, I
                    get the output below, and Ipopt terminates. As can
                    be understood from above, I did not use any flags
                    while configuring Ipopt. Let me know if you can
                    guess what the problem might be with ma77.</div>

                                Hi,<br>
                                <br>
                                Up to now I have compiled and used ipopt
                                with ma27 &amp; ma19. Because of an<br>
                                increase in problem size, I now need to
                                use it with ma77. However, I could<br>
                                not build ipopt with it. It seems like
                                it is not able to locate the file in<br>
                                $[ipopt_dir]/Thirdparty/hsl/<br>
                                <br>
                                Should the file name be different than:
                                &nbsp; ma77ad.f90 &nbsp; &nbsp;?<br>
                                <br>
                                Source files I am using for ipopt are
                                from version 3.10.0.<br>
