[Coin-symphony] Problems compiling symphony with glpk support

[Ted Ralphs]

Hi Martin,

I know it's confusing, but for --with-glpk-lib, you have to give the 
actual link line arguments, i.e.,

./configure --with-glpk-incdir=/usr/include --with-glpk-lib="-L/usr/lib 
-lglpk"

What you wrote is more intuitive, but there are reasons why this doesn't 
work so well. Try this and let me know if it works.

Cheers,

Ted
