Thanks, now I am not getting that error, but now I am getting a
different error:
---------------------error-------------------------------
GLPK("C:\Documents and
Settings\Amit\Desktop\glpk-4.9\glpk-4.9\examples\"").solve(prob)
File "C:\Documents and Settings\Amit\Desktop\pulp\pulp.py", line 114,
in solve
return lp.solve(self)
File "C:\Documents and Settings\Amit\Desktop\pulp\pulp.py", line
1740, in solve
status = solver.actualSolve(self)
File "C:\Documents and Settings\Amit\Desktop\pulp\pulp.py", line 188,
in actualSolve
raise "PuLP: cannot execute "+self.path
PuLP: cannot execute C:\Documents and
Settings\Amit\Desktop\glpk-4.9\glpk-4.9\examples"
-------------------------------------------------------------
can anyone tell me where the problem is? I am using following code.
thanks
Amit
----------------------Code----------------------
from pulp import *
prob = LpProblem("linear", LpMinimize)
# Variables
x = LpVariable("x", 0, 4)
y = LpVariable("y", -1, 1)
z = LpVariable("z", 0)
# Objective
prob += x + 4*y + 9*z
# Constraints
prob += x+y <= 5
prob += x+z >= 10
prob += -y+z == 7
