[Ipopt] IPOpt: configure fails

[Andreas Waechter]

Hi Paul,

please do not attached entire config.log files to messages for the mailing 
list (too much) - post excerpts or create a ticket (where you can attach 
config.log file).

The file you sent is not relevant, please read the link that Stefan 
provided 
(https://projects.coin-or.org/BuildTools/wiki/user-troubleshooting#Troubleshooting), 
specificlally the section about "Problems During Configuration".  The 
relevant config.log file is in the ThirdParty/HSL subdirectory.
