[Ipopt] ipopt make test fails: missing MA27

Dear Tony,

Your suggestions worked perfectly! Ipopt now works fine for me under Kubuntu
11.10  (64 bit).

Would it be possible to update the installation manual (I would be willing
to update it myself)?

1. Getting Ipopt via subversion:
http://www.coin-or.org/Ipopt/documentation/node12.html
This page refers to an outdated version of Ipopt. Perhaps the link on this
page needs to be replaced with: https://projects.coin-or.org/**
svn/Ipopt/trunk <https://projects.coin-or.org/svn/Ipopt/trunk>

2. Downloading the HSL routines:
http://www.coin-or.org/Ipopt/documentation/node16.html
This page is outdated.

a. The page does not mention that there exists an HSL package for Ipopt
including all the routines. Perhaps refer to this page:
http://www.hsl.rl.ac.uk/ipopt/
b. Include in the installation instructions that after downloading the
above package, you can simply put the folder under ./ThirdParty/HSL/ and
rename it to coinhsl. Currently, this page contains a rather complex
description of renaming and merging a number of files, which apparently is
no longer required.

br,

Joris
