Hi Roger Thanks for the feedback on building ASCEND on Gentoo. This is also not a distro that I've tried, unfortunately. To track down what's going wrog here, in particular with IPOPT, I suggest you run the following, using a working copy from our Subversion server.
scons -c scons --config=force and then send me your 'options.cache' and 'config.log' files, together with the output. It may be worth attempting to build with IPOPT_CPPPATH=/usr/local/include/coin. I am not sure whether the current code assumes the 'coin' part or not. Issues can arise also with SUNDIALS due to changes to the library API, depending on the version included with your distro. Same goes for Graphviz. If you tell me the versions of each of these things that you have got on your system, then we might be able to work out what's going on there. You also asked a question about use of Autotools. We used to have an Autotools-based build system, but it is now unmaintained, since our move to the new Python GUI and addition of Windows and Mac support. I note that we regularly build ASCEND on Ubuntu and reasonably frequently on Fedora, so I'm sure that we can adapt to other Linux flavours without too much suffering.
