Thank you for the responses. I can verify this works very well indeed.
The only thing perhaps to keep in mind for people trying to get this to
work in the future is that there is a new linking model for the MKL library
that is not documented in the Ipopt manuals.
The information is here for those who may be interested:
https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/a-new-linking-model-single-dynamic-library-mkl_rt-since-intel-mkl-103
Thanks for all the help.
Best,
