I perfectly know this. The description of lpsymphony explicitly says:
The main difference between this package and
Rsymphony is that it includes the solver source code (SYMPHONY version
5.6), while Rsymphony expects to find header and library files on the
users' system. Thus the intention of lpsymphony is to provide an easy to
install interface to SYMPHONY.
The point is actually *how* to use the packaged libs and this is why
I was asking for help here. Would you consider crafting a patch?
Or would you condider crafting a patch for IHW to rather use Rsymphony
instead of lpsymphony?
Kind regards
Andreas.
