unable to make Sirius use Gurobi solver

[flass]

Hi,

I have been trying (quite hard) to make Sirus use Gurobi as the iLP solver instead of the built-in CLP, but so far to no avail.

Could you please help me see what I'm doing wrong?

I was running Sirius 5.8.5 using the executable dowloaded from this repo (https://github.com/boecker-lab/sirius/releases/download/v5.8.5/sirius-5.8.5-linux64.zip), with the following environment variables set:

GRB_LICENSE_FILE=/software/gurobi/gurobi.lic
GUROBI_HOME=/software/gurobi/gurobi911/linux64
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/software/gurobi/gurobi911/linux64/lib:/software/lsf-farm5/10.1/linux3.10-glibc2.17-x86_64/lib:/software/gurobi/gurobi911/linux64/lib:/usr/lib/oracle/12.1/client64/lib

just showing that these point to relevant files/locations:

here is the command I ran:

sirius/bin/sirius -i filtered_output_sirius.mgf formula -p orbitrap --ilp-solver gurobi

and this is the header of the standard output that I get:

and this is the error I get after a while (reiterated for all the compounds that are being assessed - Sirius does not crash, it just caries on failing like this):

when terminating the job manually, I got this last error (which I suspect to be just due to user interuption, but mentioning it just in case):
