[Ipopt] help building Matlab interface for Ipopt on Mac

Thanks ... that seemed to eliminate the error about "-framework" not being a valid option, but now I'm getting "ld: library not found for -lgfortranbegin". I'm starting to think maybe there's an issue with my Fortran compiler since I can't even link the simple yprime example MEX file without getting errors related to -lgfortran.

Does anyone here have a working environment for building Fortran MEX files on Mac OS X (Snow Leopard or Lion)? I had a working setup with both g95 and gfortran (both from Fink) on a previous machine, but decided to go with what I thought was the more highly recommended Fortran installers from http://r.research.att.com/tools/. Now I can't the most basic MEX build to work.

Anybody have time to help me sort this out (off-list)?

I promise I'll post detailed instructions on how to build the IPOPT MEX interface on Mac if I ever succeed.

Thanks,
