Fatal Error: File 'hdf5.mod' opened at (1) is not a GNU Fortran module file

Question

I am using gcc 4.9.2 and trying to use gfortran in order to read and write hdf5 binary files. I am getting the following error:

USE HDF5

I tried removing and reinstalling gfortran but no change. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

What gives you the indication that hdf5.mod is a Fortran module? It's simply a binary file format. The .mod extension doesn't make it a Fortran module, any more than giving a .txt file a .jpg extension makes it an image file. — Ken White

The HDF5 library (or at least, the Fortran interface part of it) needs to be compiled with the corresponding Fortran compiler and (major) version that you use for your own code as well.
