It this Bonmin release 0.1?
And does the file /home/bonmin-0.1/build/cbc/../cgl/src/libcgl.la look
correct? Did the build of Cgl work find?

The message indicates that it had some problem to generate the cbc
binary. Since this is not necessary for Bonmin, you might try to ignore
it by just calling make in those project subdirectories that haven't
been processed yet. I think CoinUtils, Osi, Cgl, and Clp are already
goen through, and also the Cbc library has been created. So you would
need to go to /home/bonmin-0.1/build/ipopt and do make there and then go
to /home/bonmin-0.1/build/bonmin and do another make there, followed by
a make install that installs you the executable.
