Betty,
I guess I got in a hurry and was too terse. There are pre-compiled  
binaries in the COIN-OR project that you can just use:

"It is possible to use this distribution "out-of-the-box" to solve  
linear and integer programs. Nothing needs to be compiled or linked.  
In this distribution there is a bin directory that contains the  
executable clp (or clp.exe for Windows) that can be used to solve  
linear and integer programs."

I found that quote here:
<https://projects.coin-or.org/CoinBinary>
which is also the page with links to the binaries.

Not that Windows is supported as well as Linux.
