Good Afternoon

I am experimenting with a fortran-glpk interface  for a problem that requires 
solving several tens (or hundreds) of thousands of slightly modified LP 
problems. The fortran-glpk interface has substantially reduced my computation 
time as contrasted to running my code in R via the lpsolveAPI or glpkAPI 
package. For well behaved problems,  the fortran-glpk interface solves the set 
of problems in 1/3 to 1/6 the time required to solve the problems using R's 
lpsolveAPI. With this application, R's glpkAPI is not time competitive with 
lpSolve.


However, in my application there will be times when my problem will be primal 
unbounded.  I have a small demonstration example where I know the problem is 
unbounded and is identified as such by both lpSolve and MS excel's solver.  
However, when I attempt to solve this problem using the fortran-glpk interface, 
the glp_simplex call returns 0.  How do I identify an unbounded problem when 
calling glpk via the glp_simplex function call. I have read the GNU Lineal 
Programming Kit Reference Manual and have not found (or not understood) how to 
identify an unbounded problem.


Thank you for your assistance
