IPOPT shared library failed to import

[felixquinton]

After running setup.py install I try to run import pyOpt but I get a warning saying

IPOPT shared library failed to import

How can I solve this ?

Hey, I had this issue as well, and initially I had pyOpt installed in usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
I uninstalled it from this location and reinstalled it to usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages and this seemed to solve the problem - the problem being that the libraries don't exist along expected paths (I think).
I am using Ubuntu 16.04, so if you're on a similar operating system, maybe the solution will be similar?
