Hi,

I am trying to use the GLPK API. Therefore, I tried to implement a
simple call to the glp_intopt. However, I face a Bus error problem. I
provided some parameters to use the presolver, and it seems to crash
after the call of the simplex solver.
The code I used is totally based on the second example of the
documentation about Routines for processing MathProg models.
The only thing i do more is the following:


    glp_init_iocp(parm);
    parm->presolve = GLP_ON;
    parm->binarize = GLP_ON;

and then

    glp_intopt(mip, parm);

Then I don't call the glp_simplex method. The files I used are the ones
provided in the examples, sudoku.dat and sudoku.mod.

Here is the output generated:

Bus error

Using the stand alone solver is not a problem though, I can use it to
solve without any problems.

Moreover, I tried the code directly provided by the documentation
(example 2 still) and the solution is actually not the same as the stand
alone solver. I assumed because there is not use of the presolver in the
example.

I thought it might be a problem of 64-bits architecture, since I am
running on LinuxMint 64 bit, and I try to compile with the -m64 option
(using gcc), but it didn't solve the problem.

Best regards,
