In case of problems

CPLEX offers trouble-shooting procedures.

If you encounter difficulty when you try the installation test, then there is a problem in your installation, and you need to correct it before you begin real work with CPLEX.

For example, if you get a message from the compiler such as

ilolpex3.cpp 1: Can’t find include file ilcplex/ilocplex.h

then you need to verify that your compiler knows where you have installed CPLEX and its include files (that is, its header files).

If you get a message from the linker, such as

ld: -lcplex: No such file or directory

then you need to verify that your linker knows where the CPLEX library is located on your system.

If you successfully compile, link, and execute one of the examples in the standard distribution, then you can be sure that your installation is correct, and you can begin to use CPLEX with Concert Technology seriously.
