Hi,

I have been using CasADi (v3.5.5 on Matlab R2020b, macOS 11.2.1) for an optimal control problem in biomechanics for the past few months. I have been using a NLP solver with MUMPS without any problems. I want to compare with other solvers so I installed the packages from HSL.

I have been able to use the HSL solvers with a simple test problem, so I think the installation was successful. However, when I try to use these solvers for my project, Matlab crashes with a "Segmentation Violation Detected".

I'm trying to understand what is the problem, so any help would be appreciated ! I can contact HSL or Ipopt if this is not a CasADI problem. I attached the matlab crash file and below are the first lines that are printed before the crash. My problem has 19226 variables.

Best regards, 

Guillaume


-----------------
This is Ipopt version 3.12.3, running with linear solver ma97.

Number of nonzeros in equality constraint Jacobian...:        0
Number of nonzeros in inequality constraint Jacobian.:   208262
Number of nonzeros in Lagrangian Hessian.............:   150742

It seems I can't attach the crash file so I will copy it here. Sorry for the long message !

Dear Guillaume,

This is hard to debug.
Your best bet is to compile Ipopt and CasADi from source, with hsl sources added to Ipopt build dir.
Second best bet is to keep using casadi binaries but follow our build recipe for hsl https://github.com/casadi/testbot/blob/master/recipes/hsl_osx.sh

Eventually these issues will go away when we adopt https://github.com/casadi/casadi/issues/2291

Best regards,
  Joris

Dear Joris,

Thank you very much for your answer !
I'm not familiar with building from sources, so I have some quick questions:
- Can I follow this guide to install casadi from source: https://github.com/casadi/casadi/wiki/InstallationMac  ?
- Do I need to delete some stuff from my previous install tries ? For example: hsl files, casadi binaries, metis library, etc.
- Can I run directly the build recipe you linked in a terminal ? 

Sincerely,
Guillaume

Dear Guillaume,

The wiki page is relevant yes, but might not have been kept up to date.
Lingering libraries are always a danger. Remove and restart Matlab.
The link script will not run as-is, rather, use it as source of inspiration.

Best regards,
  Joris

Dear Joris,

Thanks again for your answer and the tips. I will give the installation process another try.

Best,

Guillaume
