Hi, thanls Ambros and Hans for the reply.

I installed and compiled IPOPT. I am not being able to install SCIP with
IPOPT, I tried to reinstall scip like you said:

make IPOPT=true

But I don't know where do I provide the link to IPOPT libraries. I get the
error:

src/nlpi/nlpi_ipopt.cpp:45:25: fatal error: IpoptConfig.h: No such file or
directory
compilation terminated.
make[2]: *** [obj/O.linux.x86_64.gnu.opt/lib/nlpi/nlpi_ipopt.o] Error 1

Do you know how to proceed?

Thank you very much and sorry if this is stupid,
Cristiano
