Do the other functions also expect double floats?
The ffi in OpenMCL doesn't coerce the arguments to foreign functions, 
you must make sure they are of the right type yourself. To make a 
double float write 45.0d0 instead of 45.0. If you have a value in a 
variable you must coerce it with (coerce value 'single-float) (at least 
this is what I use).
