Summary
I want to use gams as a solver with:
solver = SolverFactory('gams')The problem is that I work from a Windows machine using WSL for the python-side, but gams is installed on the Windows-side.
pyomo doesn't seems capable of finding gams executable, even when adding gams folder to my PATH or symlinking it to my ~/.local/bin folder. I can run gams from the WSL terminal with no problem though
Steps to reproduce the issue
from pyomo.opt import SolverFactory
solver = SolverFactory('gams')
solver.available()Error Message
