[Coin-discuss] Compilation issues for IPOPT

[Andreas Waechter]

Hi Mikhail,

The DFO project is still using the old (Fortran) version of Ipopt, and it 
not yet compatible with the current C++ version.

Further, the incompatibility regarding BLAS and LAPACK might be that the 
libraries in /usr/lib are 32bit libraries, but you are trying to build a 
64bit executable?

It is probably best if you correspond with the author of the DFO code, 
Katya Scheinberg, directly - I copied her on my reply.

I hope this helps,

Andreas
