SCIP: no reader for input file <sample.txt> available


I have an input problem which need to solve with SCIP:

Maximize
 obj: x1 + 2 x2 + 3 x3 + x4
Subject To
 c1: - x1 + x2 + x3 + 10 x4 <= 20
 c2: x1 - 3 x2 + x3 <= 30
 c3: x2 - 3.5 x4 = 0
Bounds
 0 <= x1 <= 40
 2 <= x4 <= 3
General
 x4
End

I downloaded the precompiled binary files from the scip website, and here is how I tried to run:

./scip-3.2.1.darwin.x86_64.gnu.opt.spx -f sample.txt  -s danielSettings.set

Any opinions why I am getting the following error?

danielk-2:~ danielk$ ./scip-3.2.1.darwin.x86_64.gnu.opt.spx -f sample.txt  -s danielSettings.set

============

no reader for input file <sample.txt> available

Solution

  • You need to rename the problem file, so SCIP knows which format it is: sample.lp in your case.
