what has that to do with the price of rice in china? ;) if you want to use the intel compiler, you need a valid license, and - as discussed - the non-commercial license does not apply to people working in academia. the fact that you have a broken gfortran installation on your machine doesn't justify using software in violation of its license. am i allowed to steal your car, because i couldn't pay for a cab?? apart from that, i contend that the code in question *does* compile correctly with gfortran, you probably simply need to update to a more recent version. if you believe, that the code itself is in error, please provide *proper* proof and report it to the gfortran or quantum espresso developers, depending on where you confirm the bug. axel. > > On Mon, Dec 31, 2012 at 12:16 AM, Ari P Seitsonen <Ari.P.Seitsonen at iki.fi> > wrote: >> >> >> Dear Branha Pandey, >> >> Axel managed to write the same things that I was planning to state as >> well - I know that one can download it without paying any money, but one has >> to accept the license agreements, and most scientists do not fulfill them. >> I'm also taking this as an academic "obligation": Since most of us indeed >> prefer free software, it would be better to use the "free" variant - in this >> case 'gcc'/'gfortran' - and help its developers improve its quality by >> reporting the remaining bugs to them.
