I have the following version of Fortran installed:

$ mpif90 --version
GNU Fortran (GCC) 7.4.0
Copyright (C) 2017 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
This is free software; see the source for copying conditions.  There is NO
warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Is this issue due to the incompatibility of the compiler? My system is running Windows 10 64-bit version and I am using Cygwin.

Openmpi installation in Cygwin

The error is about your code, not about the Makefile. Please show the offending code. — Vladimir F Героям слава

Fortran 2008 extended the possible number of ranks. lease try a more recent compiler version. — Vladimir F Героям слава
– Vladimir F Героям слава, Commented Dec 2, 2020 at 19:29
But where is the error in the code? It is not referenced in the error log. However, it makes mention of mpif-sizeof.h:xxxx:xx. — naseefo

OK, what kind of MPI library do you use? Was it compiled for the same compiler version? — Vladimir F Героям слава
– Vladimir F Героям слава, Commented Dec 2, 2020 at 19:30
@VladimirF I tried adding mpif90 -std=f2008 ...... as well. But I get the same error. — naseefo

As we resolved in the comments you need to use the compiler compatible with OpenMPI you are using or the other way use the compiler compatible with your OpenMPI. Not only the header mpif.h headers of your MPI contain declarations of arrays with too many ranks for gfortran 7, but once you would use more modern Fortran features you would also hit the incompatibility of the array descriptors and hence the incompatibility of module files.

That incompatibility will become even apparent when you try to use the more modern features like use mpi or use mpi_f08 instead of include "mpif.h". The module files from the MPI library will be immediately rejected by the compiler if they come from an incompatible version. The MPI library must be compiled for the exact main compiler version. That also means that modernizing your application will not fix your current problem.

There is also a module file .mod. in your project, that uses module version 14 and was made by gfortran 5. This file will be incompatible with any other gfortran version. You will need to have it recompiled. If you ave the source code, just delete all .mod files in your project. If you do not have the source files, you need to get it.

@VladmirF, thanks for the help! I later found out in Ubuntu kernel in Windows 10, it worked with gfortran-5 (v5.5.0) and mpi (v2.1.1). There are still some glitches towards the end but I think that is a different problem.

I faced with error with tau installation with fortran. Using gfortran-8 cases the error. However, using gcc-5 with gfortran-5 solves the problem with me.

TL;DR you have to use the same Fortran compiler (vendor and version) that was used to build Open MPI.

Your app does include 'mpif.h', and this internally include 'mpif-sizeof.h'. What happens here is Open MPI was built with a Fortran compiler that supports arrays with more than 7 dimensions, but the Fortran compiler you are using to build your app does not, and hence the error.

That being said, the right fix is to modernize your application, and replace the "legacy" include 'mpif.h' with a modern use mpi, or even better, use mpi_f08.
