Problem with AMPL 10 together with CPLEX 11

[Andreas]

Hello,
I am having the following problem: I am using AMPL 10 together with
CPLEX 11. When I specify in AMPL to use CPLEX with

option solver cplex;

and then run the

solve;

command, I get the following output:


ILOG AMPL 10.000, licensed to "tu-berlin".
AMPL Version 20051214 (Linux 2.6.9-5.ELsmp)

Presolve eliminates 1536 constraints and 720 variables.
Adjusted problem:
11224 variables:
4544 binary variables
6680 linear variables
36014 constraints, all linear; 176104 nonzeros
0 objectives.

CPLEX> can't open /tmp/at6353.sol

this confuses me, since I thought that CPLEX reads the input and then
creates the output file (with the suffix .sol). If I add a command
like

write moutput;

I get a similar error message ("CPLEX> can't open output.sol").

Thank you very much in advance!
Kind regards,
Andy

To get AMPL to pass files directly to CPLEX, and CPLEX to pass
solutions directly to AMPL, you need to use a driver program that
bridges the two. (Not sure if my terminology is exactly correct
there.) CPLEX/ILOG/IBM/whoever sells an AMPL/CPLEX bundle that does
this, but since you apparently have separate copies of AMPL and CPLEX,
you'll need to compile the bridge program yourself. There's C code
available at http://www.netlib.org/ampl/solvers/cplex/.

I think the answer has been given in

http://groups.google.com/group/ampl/browse_thread/thread/46a3bf513b2b4f35/3b43882c2da298a2?lnk=gst&q=solver+cplex#3b43882c2da298a2

the thread can be closed.
Thanks,

you dont have to use the 'option solver cplex' line. remove this line and your
problem should get solved.

Thank you very much for your quick answers!

Yes, when I remove the line

option solver cplex;

then the problem disappears, however, then AMPL uses CPLEX 10 rather
than CPLEX 11. I will do what Paul suggested and try to compile
cplexampl with CPLEX 11.
Best,
Andy
