[QE-developers] Problem to install Quantum Expresso on Mac M1 chip

[Will DeBenedetti]

Do you have the Fortran compiler that is compatible with the M1 (ARM)
chipset? I know I looked into this a year ago, and there were no "stable"
fortran compilers at the time. There appears to be a gfortran build for the
A1 chipset here: http://hpc.sourceforge.net
