[Coin-ipopt] Mac OS X Compilation Issue

[Jeremy Fox]

I am trying to compile IPOPT on a Mac OS 10.4.8 (Intel) machine. At  
one point, the compilation stops with an error message.  It appears  
to be in the Ipopt/src/Interfaces directory. The following command  
exits with the error

/usr/bin/ld: unknown flag: -compatibility_version

If you look below at the very end, "compatibility_version" is being  
called with the Wl prefix, which means the flag is being sent to the  
linker, ld. However, reading the man pages, it looks like  
"compatibility_version" is a (Darwin specific) flag for gcc, not ld.  
Indeed, changing the last line to

-compatibility_version 1 -current_version 1.0

seems to make this command go through without error. However, I when  
type make again, the command below is reexecuted. I don't know enough  
to change the use of these flags in the make process. Does someone  
know how to do this?

Thanks, Jeremy
