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

[Andreas Waechter]

Hi Ugo,

I don't know about those distributions - the best place to get help is 
probably from those that created the packages, I see someone at

http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/c/coinor-ipopt/coinor-ipopt_3.8.3-2/changelog

Good luck,

Andreas
