You should be able to find some evidence in config.log, either in the top-level build directory or one level down in the Ipopt subfolder, search for something like "whether to enable shared libraries" or "whether to build shared libraries." There might be some logic either in one of the configure.ac, or BuildTools/coin.m4, or libtool files that could be disabling shared libraries when using the Intel compilers? I don't have a lot of experience using the Intel compilers but I've used MKL a few times before and have done more than my share of debugging strange configure/build issues. It might help if you could upload the config.log and libtool files (both top-level and under Ipopt subfolder) to somewhere like pastebin or gist.github.com, so those of us who know what to look for could try skimming through them.

Okay - I think I’ve found the relevant section.  It’s as you expected:

configure:8764: checking whether the icc linker (link -m elf_x86_64) supports shared libraries
configure:9722: result: no
configure:9789: checking dynamic linker characteristics
configure:10377: result: GNU/Linux ld.so
configure:10386: checking how to hardcode library paths into programs
configure:10411: result: unsupported
configure:10425: checking whether stripping libraries is possible
configure:10430: result: yes
configure:11264: checking if libtool supports shared libraries
configure:11266: result: no
configure:11269: checking whether to build shared libraries
configure:11290: result: no
configure:11293: checking whether to build static libraries
configure:11297: result: yes
configure:11389: creating libtool

Here’s the whole thing: https://gist.github.com/gkopff/a68c61883eee3191d447 <https://gist.github.com/gkopff/a68c61883eee3191d447>

If you have any ideas as to _why_ configure thinks that the icc linker doesn’t support shared libraries, I’d love to know. :)

Thanks for your help so far.

Kindest regards,

Greg.
