[Ipopt] Compiling IPOPT with MKL on Ubuntu 8.04

[David Veerasingam]

Hello all,

I hope you won't mind my asking a somewhat naïve question, but how  
exactly do I compile IPOPT with MKL's BLAS and Lapack?
(or rather, where are the MKL BLAS and Lapack files located?)

I'm trying out the latest IPOPT (3.5.0) on my Ubuntu 8.04 (32-bit)  
machine.

My setup:
- Intel C compiler (10.1.012)
- Intel Fortran compiler (10.1.012)
- Intel MKL (10.0.4.023)

I also have
- gcc/gfortran 4.2.3 (but I'm not using these for the compilation)

I tried following

I tried:
./configure --with-blas="/opt/intel/mkl/10.0.4.023/interfaces/blas95/ 
source/" CC=icc CXX=icpc F77=ifort

But I got:
configure: error: user supplied BLAS library "/opt/intel/mkl/ 
10.0.4.023/interfaces/blas95/source/" does not work.

I noticed the files in that directory had .f90 extensions. I renamed  
the files to *.f but it didn't solve the problem.

Can anyone help?

David
