Dear all,

I know this post may be duplicate, but still I couldn't able to install PSOPT.

Any good installation guide may help me.

Thank you

Hi Balamurugan,

I downloaded a couple of years ago a very good guide written and posted in this forum by Musa Audu (even if I don't find it anymore in the list of posts).

I found it very useful, even if I had to change slightly some parts.

Attached is the installation guide by Musa Audu, and in red are my comments. I wrote those comments mainly for myself, but they can be useful for you as well (at least, I hope so ;) ).

Tell me if you find this guide useful as well, and if you need more help regarding missing files or something similar.

I use Windows 7, VS 2010 Express and SDK7.1.

Cheers,

Alessandro

Hi Alessandro

Thanks for sharing the information with me.

But unfortunately, I have some doubts. I am unsuccessful in installing the PSOPT.

I have attached the word file with screen shot and makefile.vc from dmatrix/lib and PSOPT/lib

You please help me out to sort out these issues.

Thanks & Regards

Hi Balamurugan,

sorry for the late reply, but I was away for the weekend.

I think your main problem is due to the function arithchk.c, which apparently has some errors (the same errors as the ones Alessandro has reported, in the other post). I checked my function, and I don't have any ssize_t at those lines you guys reported the errors, so perhaps can be that the version you have downloaded now is slightly different respect to the one I have. I attached the function I have. Try to use mine and see if those particular issues are solved.

Cheers,

Alessandro

Hi,

I use as a replacement for XCSparse and UFconfig the now available suitesparse:
http://faculty.cse.tamu.edu/davis/suitesparse.html

Lusol is still downloadable from that link.

Best wishes

In addition in your procedure in point 11 and 12 you say:
edit the file Makefile.vc and check that all references to other libraries such as adolc.lib are pointing to the correct locations where the libraries are located.

In the makefile there is no hint to adolc.lib: can you check my attached file if it is correct?

Makefile.vc

I am a little bit confused:
what shall I put in the folder C:\Psopt3\CXSparse\Include: SuiteSparse_config.h (from CXsparse) ? or UFconfig (file Sluckbuild) (from UFconfig folder? I don't see any UFconfig.h or Uconfig.h. :-(
Can you better explain the procedure INSTALL POSPOPT point 3. What is the use of point 5: what's UFconfig sluckbbuild for?
cheer

ps. sono disperato!!!!! :-)
