[petsc-users] help: use real and complex petsc together

[Jose E. Roman]

I don't know enough about dlopen to answer you question. Maybe other people can comment. My suggestion is that you do everything in complex scalars and avoid complications trying to mix real and complex.

Regarding the second question, if I am not wrong PetscInitialize/PetscFinalize can be called several times, so it should not be a problem.
