Runtime Libraries and Other Dependencies
- Make sure that there is no other Xpress software, library files or license files on the path or in any directories used or accessed by your application – in particular, be careful that no earlier releases of Xpress software are present.
- The files you need to run (but not compile) applications depend on which of the Xpress libraries you are using. Here we give the files required for Windows and Solaris; the files required for other Unix operating systems are similar to those required for Solaris, but the exact file names sometimes differ in an obvious way. (The suffix X in Solaris file names indicates the version number.) All of these files (with the exception of your particular license file, xpauth.xpr) should be taken from the current Xpress release distribution. See note 9 below for an explanation of the UNIX symbolic links required for UNIX installations.
- An Optimizer application requires the files

Xpress license manager xpserver.exe xpserver License state query tool xplicstat.exe xplicstat - Some of the components of FICO Xpress Optimization contain open source software. When redistributing parts of Xpress please make sure that you also include the corresponding files from the licenses subdirectory of the Xpress distribution.
- An Optimizer application requires the files
- Copy all of the Xpress files listed above to one directory on your end-user's computer. This can be any directory, but we strongly recommend that you use the directory containing your application program.
If you are building a runtime distribution for Mosel applications we recommend that you maintain the same subdirectory structure (with directories bin, dso, lib, and if you are using MATLAB also matlab) as the original Xpress distribution. - Windows requirement: Add the directory containing the Xpress files to the Windows PATH, so that Windows knows where to find the Xpress DLLs.
- Unix only: Set the environment variable for locating shared libraries on your platform (LD_LIBRARY_PATH for Linux and Solaris, DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH on macOS) to point to the directory containing the Xpress libraries.
- Unix only: Set the environment variable XPRESS to point to the directory containing the Xpress license file, xpauth.xpr. (Do not set the XPRESS environment variable under Windows – the license file will be looked for in the same directory as the Xpress DLLs, and while setting XPRESS has no effect, if it was set it might confuse the user or support.)
- If you are using Mosel, set the environment variable MOSEL_DSO to point to the directory containing the Mosel DSO files.
- Under Windows: Do not pass an explicit path argument (to XPR?license or XPR?init) when initializing Xpress to specify the location of the security files. Do not set the XPRESS environment variable. Do not put the Xpress license file (xpauth.xpr) into a different directory from that containing all other Xpress library files and DLLS listed above. Doing any of these will add to the complexity of the Xpress licensing procedure, potentially cause a licensing error, and make it difficult to support your application on your end-user's computer.
- Unix symbolic links: The tar file distributions contain symbolic links e.g. libxprs.so.17.10.01 -> libxprs.so.17.10 -> libxprs.so ( .so extension may vary between UNIX platforms).
In the example above, the binary file has the full version number postfixed to enable the support team to easily identify the exact version number being used. The intermediate filename without the 3rd element of the version number is used internally by one Xpress component to link to another. The link with no version number is used to support the version-independent documentation, examples and example makefiles.
In general, it is possible to remove the soft links and rename the libraries, with the following exceptions. The security library must be made available as libxprl.so.yyyy for all Xpress components to use. If any components ( including Xpress Optimizer console ) other than the Xpress Optimizer runtime library are to be used then the Xpress Optimizer runtime library must be made available as libxprs.so.xx.yy .
