Installation of the Ampl Solver Library (ASL) for COIN ********************************************************************** Note: It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to ensure that you are entitled to download and use this third party package. ********************************************************************** If you are working under Unix/Linux-like system and you have `wget' installed, you can downloaded the required source code for the ASL by executing the included script `get.ASL' in this directory. Otherwise, follow those instructions: 1. Obtain the ASL source code, for example from http://www.netlib.org/ampl/solvers/ . Check http://www.netlib.org/ampl/solvers/README for instructions on how to obtain the entire directory 'solvers' in a convenient manner. For example: In this directory enter: ftp www.netlib.org and log in as 'anonymous' and enter your email address as password In FTP, enter ftp> cd ampl ftp> bin ftp> get solvers.tar ftp> quit --- If the netlib server is down, you can also obtain a tarball from http://cm.bell-labs.com/netlib/ampl/index.html (at the "tar" link for "solvers") 2. Unpack this package, so that the directory solvers is now located in $SRCROOTDIR/OTHERS/ASL , i.e. you have a directory $SRCROOTDIR/OTHERS/ASL/solvers containing the source code for the ASL. For example: If you obtained the file 'solvers.tar' as described above and it is in this directory, enter tar xf solvers.tar Since the files are compressed when obtained as described above, you need to uncompress them, e.g. by typing gunzip -fr solvers
