Re: [eclipse-users] NEWBIE: Eplex installation question

Hi,

thanks for the response. The fact that the solver is included in the 
eplex package explains everything. What I meant with "same answer" is 
just that in solving a problem that used the eplex functionality, it did 
not seem to matter whether I installed Coin or not. But you're answer 
explains that.

On another note, I am also trying to install eclipse on my macbook using 
the mac binaries from sourceforge. The installation itslef runs 
smoothly, but as soon as I try to load the eplex library in this 
distribution it gives the following error

[eclipse 1]: lib(eplex).
linearize.eco loaded traceable 0 bytes in 0.02 seconds

Do you have any idea what the reason for this is? I have already set the 
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH, so that should not be a problem.
