[Ipopt] Using a Third Party Software in IPOPT MA57 Interface

[Tony Kelman]

I don't think csparse uses pkg-config, but I could be wrong there.

Try
@COIN_HAS_PKGCONFIG_TRUE at LIBS = `PKG_CONFIG_PATH=@COIN_PKG_CONFIG_PATH@ 
@PKG_CONFIG@ --libs ipopt | sed -e 's/-framework vecLib//g'` -lcsparse

And if you're on a system that doesn't have pkg-config installed, then 
you'll need to add -lcsparse to the line that starts with
@COIN_HAS_PKGCONFIG_FALSE at LIBS = ...

Hi Tony,

I downloaded Ipopt again did all of these steps again and it still does
not work. I have also tried adding the changes to the Makefile.in file.

@COIN_HAS_PKGCONFIG_TRUE at LIBS = `PKG_CONFIG_PATH=@COIN_PKG_CONFIG_PATH@
@PKG_CONFIG@ --libs ipopt | sed -e 's/-framework vecLib//g'` I changed
this line with

@COIN_HAS_PKGCONFIG_TRUE at LIBS = `PKG_CONFIG_PATH=@COIN_PKG_CONFIG_PATH@
@PKG_CONFIG@ --libs ipopt csparse | sed -e 's/-framework vecLib//g'`

and then ran the configure script again but it is still not working.
