[Ipopt] Help!!! Make failure: Makefile: Must be a separator on line ...

[Steven Dirkse]

Hi,

Have you installed GNU make as the default make?  I'm not sure that's
the cause in this case, but you can be sure the IPOPT developers have
targeted GNU make.  The Digital Unix make, not so much.

Fortunately it's easy to build/install GNU make.
