A common misunderstanding with this subroutine is that offset must be an
INTEGER(KIND=MPI_OFFSET_KIND). OMPI 1.6's F90 interface (and earlier versions)
won't work with derived datatypes as the buffer, either. OMPI 1.7 has a
wholly-reimplemented "mpi" module that allows derived datatypes as the buffer
when used with non-gfortran compilers (e.g., fort). It also has the the
"mpi_f08" MPI-3 module, which offers many nice things beyond the "mpi" module.
Here's pseudocode for the prototype of the MPI_FILE_READ_AT subroutine:
-----
subroutine MPI_FILE_READ_AT(fh, offset, buf, count, datatype, &
status, ierr)
include 'mpif-config.h'
integer, intent(in) :: fh
integer(kind=MPI_OFFSET_KIND), intent(in) :: offset
<type>, intent(out) :: buf
integer, intent(in) :: count
integer, intent(in) :: datatype
integer, dimension(MPI_STATUS_SIZE), intent(out) :: status
integer, intent(out) :: ierr
end subroutine MPI_FILE_READ_AT
-----
If your offset parameter is a regular INTEGER, then the compiler fails with a
non-helpful error. Meaning: the error message is *correct*, but not
exceedingly helpful. :-) It's basically trying to tell you "I couldn't find a
version of MPI_FILE_READ_AT that matches the parameters you passed."
