According to my last message (Incorrect result in solver),
when LP-solver was given an objective function of the form:
sum (c_i * x_i) + K
(i=1..n)
the original problem was transformed into incorrect one,
the first variable x_1 having decreased the coefficients in
matrix of constraints by -K.
The constant K is also stripped from obj. function, which is O.K.
We are talking about Gnumeric 1.4.3 official version sources.
I replaced in solver.c the line 419 which reads:
x0 = base;
with lines:
cell_eval (target);
x0 = base = value_get_as_float (target->value);
I have no full (maybe, nor partial :-) understanding of source code,
but x0=base referred here to "base" - variable assigned on line 363,
when we dealt with objective function. Now, the constraints settings
for solver are to be made - why we nead refer to something
about obj. function?
The above-mentioned change fixed for me the problem. Maybe, it breaks
something else, etc. But, I think, this additional information can help
the developers to identify the problem (it must be either
in function "get_lp_coeff", or in something like above
- incorrect initialization of variables.)

I confirm the problem, please, fill a bug report. Bugzilla
(http://bugzilla.gnome.org) is a much better place than the mailing list
to discuss bugs, and this IS a bug.
Thanks,
Jean
