Dear sir I have a problem installing Couenne on my computer (running Mint 18.3).

We have to solve relatively small non convex quadratic problem, and so Couenne seemed to be a great opportunity.

The problem that we look at appears as a relaxation of a two player localisation game in a graph. For very small values we can solve the system "by hand" which allow us to derive lower bound for our combinatorial problem. But the larger system the better is the bound we derive, so would live to find the solution for relativelly small problems.

I followed quite closely the installation instructions for Couenne but the make fails in CoinsUtils.

A) First i installed the third party components, there were some minor issues in the provided script (some ftp servers do not exist anymore so i changed some ftp:: into http:// also some target files were outdated).

for ASL :

For Blas: i downloaded the current version (3.8.0) and moved as indicated all the fortran source file into the root directory :

For LAPACK : i downloaded lapack-3.1.0 and moved the resulting directory to Lapack :

/home/speren/Couenne-0.1/ThirdParty/Lapack $-> ls LAPACK/ma27-1.0.0.tar.gz
INSTALL  SRC

For MUMPS i did the same :

10:25 `@`sambaperati: /home/speren/Couenne-0.1/ThirdParty/Mumps $-> ls MUMPS/
ChangeLog  doc  examples  include  lib  libseq  LICENSE  Makefile  Make.inc  MATLAB  PORD  README  SCILAB  src  VERSION

Last for HSL i decided to get  ma27-1.0.0.tar.gz and mc19-1.0.0.tar.gz , unpacked them and then rand configure, make, make install, i rand these command as root and so the 2 libraries are installed :root`@`sambaperati ma27-1.0.0]# ls /usr/local/lib/libma27.a
/usr/local/lib/libma27.a
[root`@`sambaperati ma27-1.0.0]# ls /usr/local/lib/libmc19.a
/usr/local/lib/libmc19.a

Note that I could not register on the HSL website, so i had to fill a form for each download i performed there.

Here is HSL directory :

root`@`sambaperati HSL]# ls
config.guess  config.status  configure     depcomp  dummy.lo     install-sh     libtool    ma27-1.0.0         Makefile     Makefile.in  mc19-1.0.0.tar.gz
config.log    config.sub     configure.ac  dummy.c  INSTALL.HSL  libcoinhsl.la  ltmain.sh  ma27-1.0.0.tar.gz  Makefile.am  mc19-1.0.0   missing

B) Next i did configure and make.

 mkdir build
$ cd build
$ ../configure -C
$ make

Hello. First, if you're using Couenne stable version 0.1, please consider updating to 0.5 as the former hasn't been maintained in a while. Second, please make sure you use the get.* scripts in the ThirdParty/*/ directories you use. Finally, when running configure please avoid the -C option that caches the results.

Hope this helps.
