Hi,
Ubuntu 18.04; Installed cplex_studio129.linux-x86-64.bin and then Sage 8.7 from source.
I chose source to allow me to "make" Sage again after linking the necessary CPLEX files as described at the very bottom of the page here:
doc.sagemath.org/html/en/thematic_tutorials/linear_programming
i.e. from
/home/klara/sage-8.7/local/lib
ln -s /opt/ibm/ILOG/CPLEX_Studio129/cplex/lib/x86-64_linux/static_pic/libcplex.a .
and from:
/home/klara/sage-8.7/local/include
ln -s /opt/ibm/ILOG/CPLEX_Studio129/cplex/include/ilcplex/cplex.h .
and finally, also from:
/home/klara/sage-8.7/local/include
ln -s /opt/ibm/ILOG/CPLEX_Studio129/cplex/include/ilcplex/cpxconst.h .
But now I get the following import error when running:
sage: p = MixedIntegerLinearProgram(solver='CPLEX')
ImportError: /home/klara/sage-8.7/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/sage/numerical/backends/cplex_backend.so: undefined symbol: CPXsetlogfile
(By the way, after installing Sage but before linking and remaking I got the more basic import error:
ImportError: No module named cplex_backend)
Any hints as what to look into would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Here is the Full Output of the error:
sage: p = MixedIntegerLinearProgram(solver='CPLEX')
