[Ipopt] Ipopt.lib and OSSolverService

[Andreas Waechter]

Hi Horand,

In the future, please use the Ipopt mailing list for questions related to 
Ipopt.  Or, if you think you found a mistake, please file a ticket.

It seems you are using the trunk version of Ipopt.  This is currently not 
properly working with the developer studio.  The missing symbols are 
related to changes we made recently in trunk, but they should not be in 
the stable version.

I suggest you use the stable version of Ipopt.

Regards

Andreas
