[Ipopt] Problems with calling IPOPT from MATLAB

[Tony Kelman]

In what way are you "using ampl through MATLAB"? Are you calling an external 
executable with the system() or ! commands, or are you loading an Ampl 
library into Matlab's memory space with loadlibrary()?

I suspect you need to compile Ipopt using the compiler versions Mathworks 
requires, see http://www.mathworks.com/support/compilers/R2012a/glnxa64.html
(some people have reported success with gfortran 4.4 when 4.3 is not 
available)

Matlab comes with its own versions of libstdc++ and libgfortran, which are 
not compatible with the versions used by the compiler you built Ipopt with.

You'll also likely have conflicts with Lapack and Blas, since Matlab also 
includes its own versions of those libraries, which aren't compatible with 
Ipopt. Configure Ipopt using --with-blas=BUILD and --with-lapack=BUILD to 
use the reference versions.

It will probably be necessary to use static libraries for Blas and Lapack, 
which you can do by configuring Ipopt using --disable-shared.

Hi all,

I've been using IPOPT through ampl and using ampl through MATLAB and it
works perfect. Recently I installed IPOPT 3.11 and MATLAB 2012a. When I
tried to run IPOPT through ampl called by MATLAB, I got the following
error messages:

ipopt: /usr/local/MATLAB/R2012a/sys/os/glnxa64/libstdc++.so.6: version
`GLIBCXX_3.4.15' not found (required by
/home/dynopt/CoinIpopt/lib/libipopt.so.0)
ipopt: /usr/local/MATLAB/R2012a/sys/os/glnxa64/libgfortran.so.3: version
`GFORTRAN_1.4' not found (required by
/home/dynopt/CoinIpopt/lib/libcoinmumps.so.0)
ipopt: /usr/local/MATLAB/R2012a/sys/os/glnxa64/libgfortran.so.3: version
`GFORTRAN_1.4' not found (required by
/home/dynopt/CoinIpopt/lib/libcoinhsl.so.0)
ipopt: /usr/local/MATLAB/R2012a/sys/os/glnxa64/libgfortran.so.3: version
`GFORTRAN_1.4' not found (required by /usr/lib/liblapack.so.3gf)
exit code 1

And IPOPT is not called at all.

Does anyone happen to know what the problem is? Thank you very much!

Best regards,
