I am not aware of any successful compilation of ABINIT using
the GNU compilers. It would be interesting to have
a working g95 !

At present, many people use the Intel Fortran
Compiler, that can be obtained free of charge quite easily.
see http://www.intel.com/software/products/compilers/flin/noncom.htm

Other compilers that have been used (or are used) for ABINIT
on Intel/Linux platform include the PGI compiler, the NAG compiler
and the Fujitsu compiler.

Good continuation,
