[CP2K:2304] Re: CP2K build with Intel Compiler and MKL

[Ondrej Marsalek]

Matthias,

thanks for the information. gfortran + MKL is probably my next stop,
but I was still hoping that a full Intel setup could work. This does
not look very promising now, unfortunately.

Is there reliable information as for what is the minimum safe version
of gfortran?

Best,
Ondrej
