Hi all,
I'd like to define my own real type which can be customized at compile time
but which should still be compatible with real and double precision for
linking with lapack and arpack libraries.

What is the better way to do it ?

Would it be worth to define a new type ? if so how can I define it to be
compatible with real or with double precision ?
