Ho to fix this issue on R
I have symphony installed and symphony and clp are working (at least outside R)

configure: error: Could not find Clp_C_Interface.h:
clpAPI requires clp from http://www.coin-or.org/projects/Clp.xml
use --with-clp-include or CLP_INCLUDE to specify the include path.
ERROR: configuration failed for package ‘clpAPI’

Hi, did you solve this, please? thanks

It appears that the R package assumes you have already installed the Clp package itself and that you set the environment variable CLP_INCLUDE appropriately. But this is not the place to report issues with the R package, which is maintained separately. I would suggest asking questions about this in the forum used for R packages.
