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.
