[Ipopt] Ipopt Digest, Vol 96, Issue 18

[Edson Cordeiro do Valle]

    Hello Alberto

If you run HS71 without any issue, that can be a problem of your search 
path.
Notice the "alternative" ipopt constructor (Ipopt.java):
         public Ipopt(String path, String DLL){
             // Loads the library
             File file = new File(path, System.mapLibraryName(DLL));
             System.load(file.getAbsolutePath());
         }
and
     public static final String DLLNAME = "jipopt";
     /** The relative path where the native DLL is found */
     public static final String DLLPATH = "lib";
so, you need to use this second constructor and send the jipopt.dll path 
appropriatelly. Or create a "lib" folder in your project and place the 
.dll there. This is probably the source of your problem.

Your second problem (get the final values) you can get it with the 
"getState()" method.

Regards
Edson
