We have written a patch to correct the IpBlas.cpp file, it seems to work now with Lion's vecLib. I can send it to whoever wants it.

These were mainly memory issues. Mr Hecht later found that it was due to some incompatibilities in the file : Ipopt-3.10.2/Ipopt/src/LinAlg/IpBlas.cpp. When used with mac OS X Lion's vecLib BLAS, some of the functions are passed values which lead to unpredictable results (as said in the following page :  http://www.mathkeisan.com/usersguide/man/dcopy.html).
