[Couenne] Couenne with Cplex, now

[njamett at uantof.cl]

Dear Pietro

I'm so happy, I did everything you told me and now couenne is working fine. 

I downloaded before the trunk version. But now I'm working with the stable version 0.3.

Thank you so much for your help. 

Best regards, 

Nathalie Jamett G.

Dear Nathalie,

unfortunately I cannot replicate your problem. The error you are showing 
appears to be a missing #include in 
Couenne/src/problem/CouenneSolverInterface.cpp, which defines a template 
LP solver without ever declaring any OsiCpxSolverInterface. You could 
change CouenneSolverInterface.cpp and add the lines

#ifdef COIN_HAS_CPX
#include "OsiCpxSolverInterface.hpp"
#endif

right below the other two "#include" commands. However, this is totally 
unnecessary in the version I have tried, because no object 
OsiCpxSolverInterface is ever referenced explicitly in that source file.

More specifically: if I configure Couenne (version stable-0.3) using the 
command

../configure --with-cplex-incdir=/usr/share/cplex122/cplex/include/ilcplex --with-cplex-lib='/usr/share/cplex122/cplex/lib/x86-64_sles10_4.1/static_pic/libcplex.a -lpthread'

it builds couenne without errors and it solves MINLP problems correctly. 
One caveat: after solving the LP relaxation, for some reason 
OsiCpxSolverInterface will print an error message of the form "Cplex error 
1217: no solution found" or something similar. As far as I can understand, 
that doesn't really affect the behavior of Couenne, which in fact obtain 
the right solution from the LP solver and is able to solve the MINLP to 
global optimality. I'm just anticipating that if you receive that error 
you shouldn't worry (see related, if outdated, discussion at 
http://list.coin-or.org/pipermail/osi/2008-June/thread.html#138)

Can you please email your configuration command and the version of Couenne 
you are using?

PS: please direct all questions on Couenne to its mailing list:
