[Ipopt] Compiling against the coinor-libipopt-dev package

[Ugo Pattacini]

Hello,

I've recently learned that there exists for some linux distributions an ipopt package, namely the coinor-libipopt-dev, that can be downloaded through the apt utility. That package relies on MUMPS for the sparse symmetric matrices solver.

I therefore tried to recompile my modules against the library got in this way: somehow the modules compile successfully but their ipopt-based routines do not run correctly (even the ipopt banner is not displayed). I believe this misbehavior has something to do with the linear solver loader that is not able to find the mumps at run-time.

Since I did not find any documentation for this procedure (honestly I had just a quick search) my questions are:

1) Do I need to "apt-get install" something else? Maybe the libmumps-dev as well? I'm afraid that getting coinor-libipopt-dev does not install everything.

2) When I link my modules should I add other explicit dependences besides ipopt? Perhaps dmumps, or cmumps or what else?

I tried out a bit randomly 1) and 2) without success, hence maybe someone out there has good hints to give.

Thanks in advance.
