> Yesterday it was the first time I try to build a single-precision version
> of PETSc with some external packages.
> I noticed that SuperLU and MUMPS, which are currently fully compiled (i.e.
> with scalar types s,d,c and z) by the configure, cannot be used when
> requiring single precision at configure time. So I decided to wrote a patch
> to enable their use when PETSC_USE_REAL_SINGLE is defined.
>
> Attached please find a patch. Is there any reason for which you did not
> already provide this functionality?
> I tested the patch on BlueGene/Q and it works for scalar types real.
> Currently, I don't have a complex version of PETSc installed. Can someone
> test it?
>
> I also noticed that UMFPACK (which itself does not have support for single
> precision), is accepted by the configure by requiring
> --with-precision=single --download-umfpack=1. Is it normal? It breaks the
> final linking of the executables.
