Some info possibly useful to other PWscf users.
I've found it too difficult to go through all the turmoil required to install the Intel compiler on (K)ubuntu 7.10.the install script is incredibly buggy. So I switched to gfortran, which installs effortlessly and without the additional baggage of "license verification," and found, at least for my tests (e.g., example07), there are no significant differences in cpu execution times.fractions of seconds over many hours. But, it is far less tolerant of typos in namelist strings (e.g., missing apostrophes).but, wait.this might be due to "improvements" in 3.2.3 which I also upgraded to at the same time! Paul M.
