Hi Rodrigo,

Yes, in principle you can use Pardiso; you just add the same 
configuration options for Bonmin's configure as you would for Ipopt's 
(--with-pardiso...).  Well, let's hope that it works...

That is not a bug, but a feature.  This executable I think is mainly meant 
for debugging, so that it fails is fine :)  It is meant to solve the NLP 
for a particular node of a previous run of Bonmin, and it requires some 
arguments.  If you specify an argument, it won't crash.  But we should 
probably either not install it, or at least make sure it doesn't segfault.

This is great!

Best,
