I am getting an issue which I couldn't find a solution too.
The error I am getting while trying to run the program when self.driver.optimizer is set to 'SNOTP'.

Can you suggest anything?
SNOPT is a commercial product that doesn't come shipped with pyoptsparse. You will have to obtain it from its developers, which I believe are at http://ccom.ucsd.edu/~optimizers
