[Cbc] How to run CBC on linux

The lib subdirectory of your download should contain the libCbcSolver
library and others that are required by cbc.
You should add this directory to the library search path, e.g. in bash
it would be something like

 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:your-path-to-Cbc/lib
 ./cbc

The binary may depend also on some Intel Compiler libraries that can be
found at http://www.gams.com/~svigerske/intel/x86_64/10.1
To avoid this, you can also try the gcc-build Cbc binary from
http://www.coin-or.org/download/binary/Cbc/Cbc-2.2.2-linux-x86_64-gcc4.3.2-parallel.tgz
