This happens because the new Fedora compiler is more demanding than
the previous one. The developers of Metis should not use 'log2' to
avoid conflicts. These conflicts were tolerated by less demanding
compilers, but not anymore with Fedora.

Use the following workaround:

replace the line

#define log2				__log2

with

#define log2				__log2_metis

in the file

Ipopt-3.6.1/ThirdParty/Metis/metis-4.0/Lib/rename.h.

Hope this helps you,
