since people tend to forget this. please note, that MKL is a commercial software and the non-commercial license applies only to work that you are not being paid for. so if you are a researcher or graduate student, you need an academic license. if you program something at home that is not related to your work, you are allowed to use the non-commercial version. same goes for the compilers. the binaries are identical. the fact that many people use MKL or discuss problems with MKL does not imply that it is required. any BLAS/LAPACK implementation will work and QE actually ships with a portable minimial version in case there is not alternative recognized. of course an optimized implementation (like MKL) will make QE execute faster, but there are free alternatives around as well: e.g. ATLAS or GOTO BLAS. cheers, axel.
