TROUBLESHOOTING FOR BOCOP
*GENERAL*
“ADOL-C error: Cannot allocate tape buffers!”
This message indicates that the buffer size specified for Adol-C is too high. In your problem directory, edit the hidden file .adolcrc and decrease the buffer sizes. Note that using tape files instead of buffers can cause a significant drop in performance if accessing the files over a network. In this case, try working on a local partition.
*WINDOWS*
We noticed that some antivirus can cause problems during the compilation of the thirdparty softwares for Bocop. In this case, please disable your antivirus check during the installation, and re-enable it once done. Case spotted: Avira under Win7.
The windows package includes precompiled libraries for the ThirdParty softwares Ipopt and Adol-C/ColPack. Source files are also included so that you can rebuild the libraries if you encounter some incompabilities. To do this, simply remove the files in the ‘libs’ folders in ThirdParty/Ipopt and Adolc. The GUI will then rebuild these files automatically (this can take several minutes).
If you already have MinGW installed on your computer you might have GCC > 4.7. In this case you will have to use ADOL-C-5.2.1 instead of ADOL-C-2.5.0. Here is the procedure to follow:
– Download at: http://www.coin-or.org/download/source/ADOL-C/ADOL-C-2.5.1.zip
– Extract the archive in /ThirdParty
*LINUX*
With gcc 4.8.3 you might have an error during Ipopt build: “don’t have function for random number generator”. This will result later in the error “IpoptApplication.h not found”.
To solve this you have to type the following commands in the terminal:
> cd ThirdParty/Ipopt-3.1*
> ./configure –enable-static –prefix=/ThirdParty/Ipopt-3.1* coin_skip_warn_cxxflags=yes
> make
> make install
*MAC*
If a problem occurs while building IPOPT, please go to the IPOPT directory, and run ./configure with the following options:
* F77=/path/to/your/fortran/compiler
* ADD_FFLAGS=”-O3 -ftree-vectorize -m64″
* ADD_CFLAGS=”-O3 -ftree-vectorize -arch x86_64 -m64″
* ADD_CXXFLAGS=”-O3 -ftree-vectorize -m64″
(replace m64 by m32, and x86_64 by i386 for 32bits architectures)
After configure step, you can run “make” and “make install”.
