Actually, this is probably not the best place to post questions like
this.  I doubt anyone on this newsgroup has ever used lpsolve (it's only
been downloaded 491 times).

When you're dealing with a package, the best place to get help is in the
support structure for the package.  Unfortunately, the support page for
the package just points back to the main Sourceforge page, and there
haven't been any updates in over 4 years, so I suspect it's a dead
package.  That's probably why you haven't found any help for it.

However, you might try writing one of the admins of the project to see
if they can answer your questions.

Other than that, I don't know how you can get help for it.
