[Coin-discuss] Still installation problems

These are strange error message...  What version of the compilers are you 
using?  Are you using a recent version of Cygwin?

If you only want to work with those packages, you should get the Cbc 
package (which includes Clp), otherwise you get much more from COIN than 
you need and compile too much.

At the moment, the ThirdParty subdirectories HSL, Lapack, and Blas are 
only required for Ipopt (which is in CoinAll, but you don't need it for 
Cbc or Clp).

You will need to download the ASL code if you want to compile the cbc 
executable that can be used from AMPL, otherwise you can just ignore it.
If you want to build the Cbc AMPL solver executable, also have a look at 
the second last FAQ at

https://projects.coin-or.org/Cbc/wiki/FAQ

which describes how to build the Cbc AMPL solver executable.

Hope this helps,

Andreas
