    @Toby a MCVE will be very likely just use mpi; end. Commented Jul 31, 2016 at 17:51

    Do you have any other Fortran compilers installed? Do you know which compiler was used to compile MPICH? Could you try to compile a program which contains use mpi and nothing else? Commented Jul 31, 2016 at 18:16
  • dear Vlademir thanks for your attention. I dont know which compiler is used for MPICH! how can I know this? and I didnt get what you meant with use mpi !!! can you please give me more guide? Commented Jul 31, 2016 at 18:22
  • Try the program I requested. Commented Jul 31, 2016 at 23:12

I had this problem recently. The problem was that I had different versions of the gfortran compiler and openmpi was not pointing to the right one, aka. the one being used for compiling my program. So using the use mpi statement would lead to that error. Typing in the following command will indicate which Fortran compilers are currently installed:

dpkg -l | grep Fortran

My output was

ii  gfortran                                    4:5.3.1-1ubuntu1                              amd64        GNU Fortran 95 compiler
ii  gfortran-4.8                                4.8.5-4ubuntu2                                amd64        GNU Fortran compiler
ii  gfortran-5                                  5.4.1-2ubuntu1~16.04                          amd64        GNU Fortran compiler
ii  libgfortran-4.8-dev:amd64                   4.8.5-4ubuntu2                                amd64        Runtime library for GNU Fortran applications (development files)
ii  libgfortran-5-dev:amd64                     5.4.1-2ubuntu1~16.04                          amd64        Runtime library for GNU Fortran applications (development files)
ii  libgfortran3:amd64                          6.2.0-3ubuntu11~16.04                         amd64        Runtime library for GNU Fortran applications

You can solve this by exporting the fortran compiler you are actually using. In my case it was gfortran-4.8, so I simply had to type

export FC=gfortran-4.8
