Hi again;
It's not at all urgent, but if someone has an inclination for a nice
Linear Programming solver, I would point to COIN-OR's CLP Project:

cheers,
Pedro.
let me quote Niklas Nebel from the OOo dev list:
Dependencies on LGPL libraries may soon become a problem. One such
library is lp_solve, which is the basis of the OpenOffice.org Linear
Solver in Calc.

I created issue 118160 and attached a simple proof-of-concept patch
to use CoinMP instead of lp_solve. From some limited testing, this
seems to work very well. Some changes will still be needed for
building and packaging, and perhaps some tweaking of solver settings.
But the patch shows that replacing lp_solve is clearly a (pardon the
pun) solvable problem.
