configure: error: unable to link a simple MPI-IO Fortran program

Hello
This is my first attempt to install hdf5 library on a local directory (without root access).
So, please consider my as novice and guide me accordingly
My problem is similar to what is reported here:

[problem configuring parallel installation of HDF5]

Dear all, I experience a problem configuring a parallel installation of HDF5 version 1.8.15. I would like to configure it with Intel Fortran compiler 14.0.0 20130728 and MPICH 3.1.4 on Arch Linux 64-bit. As a test I have done a sequential configuration, that worked. The environment flags I have used were: export F77=$MPICH/mpifort export F90=$MPICH/mpifort export F9X=$MPICH/mpifort export CC=$MPICH/mpicc export FFLAGS="-I/usr/include/" export CFLAGS="-I/usr/include/" export LDFLAGS="…

I want to install hdf5 library with --enable-fortran.
If I use --enable-fortran (see my complete configure script)
then I get the warning: configure: error: unable to link a simple MPI-IO Fortran program
without using -enable-fortran, the configuration goes well.

./configure MPIF90=mpiifort F90=mpiifort F77=mpiifort CC=mpiicc --enable-parallel --enable-shared --enable-fortran --prefix=/home/kcbhamu/soft/hdf5-1.12.0

here are my installed compilers:

mpiifort
/opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries_2020.2.254/linux/mpi/intel64/bin/mpiifort
mpicc
/opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries_2020.2.254/linux/mpi/intel64/bin/mpicc
mpiicc
/opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries_2020.2.254/linux/mpi/intel64/bin/mpiicc

Please guide me how I can install hdf5 library in my local directory (without getting root access) on a centos based (with slurm job scheduler cluster).

Thank you very much,
