But I can't figure out how to let the compiler access this framework during installation of Ipopt. Has anyone tried this before?

I've used

  --with-blas="-framework Accelerate" --with-lapack=""

successfully in the past (Ipopt 3.6). Since Accelerate provides both
ATLAS and LAPACK, there is no need to specify it again in
--with-lapack.
