[Ipopt+HSL] Error: no BLAS/LAPACK library loaded!

Specific Domains Optimization (Mathematical)
1

Happy New Year!

I’m having an error with Ipopt and HSL library.

With a toy example:

using JuMP, Ipopt
m = Model(Ipopt.Optimizer)
set_optimizer_attribute(m, "linear_solver", "ma86")
@variable(m, x <= 5)
@variable(m, y <= 45)
@objective(m, Max, x + y)
JuMP.optimize!(m)

Ipopt + HSL has started to give me the following error (It used to be working fine):

Can this be related to “OpenBLAS32_jll v0.3.17+0”?

@odow would registering https://github.com/giordano/OpenBLAS32.jl help?

@odow This resolved my issue. Thank you so much!

would registering GitHub - giordano/OpenBLAS32.jl help?

We could just add that piece of code to Ipopt directly. I don’t think we need an extra dependency.

Yeah, well, that’s literally one line :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

@odow Is there a way to automatically run (or initialize) the suggested code?

import LinearAlgebra, OpenBLAS32_jll
LinearAlgebra.BLAS.lbt_forward(OpenBLAS32_jll.libopenblas_path)

It is a little bit of a hassle to run it every time :sweat_smile:

The suggestion above is to add it to Ipopt. (I’ll review a pull request with it if you want to make one.)

Otherwise it’s only one line, and you’re using non-standard Ipopt options, so it isn’t that much of an inconvenience.

@odow Fair enough. Thank you for your input.
