[Ipopt] Linking IPOPT with .deb-packaged MUMPS on Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic?

[John Pye]

Hi Leo

I have made a note regarding the packaging I have done on the wiki page 
you sent me. I'm happy to report my progress but I'd rather that someone 
else more familiar with the package submission process actually deal 
with the Debian/Ubuntu people.

Still need some tips on how I can build IPOPT with the 
'--with-mumps-dir' flags correctly. Currently not detecting MUMPS correctly.

Cheers
JP
