Can you be a bit more specific -- are there *no* interface blocks in the mpi module? Or just less than expected? In 1.7.x (and 1.8), all versions of gfortran should be using the "tkr" implementation of the mpi module, which should only include MPI subroutines that have no choice buffers (e.g., MPI_INIT, MPI_FINALIZE, ... etc.). > I initially tried the default gfortran on my system - 4.7.2.

That's correct, too, but for a few obscure reasons: 1. I think there's been some churn on the gfortran HEAD recently; I had an older version that worked (I'm afraid I don't know/remember the exact date of the checkout), but I was comparing notes with the MPICH guys doing the Fortran module stuff and they had a slightly newer gfortran checkout that *didn't* work. Then I updated my gfortran checkout to be slightly newer than theirs, and it *did* work. I realize this is a a very fuzzy, anecdotal story with very few details, but the point is that I think there's been some instability at the gfortran development head (which is probably to be expected -- it's the development head, after all). 2. TYPE(*), DIMENSION(*) is not sufficient for MPI choice buffers -- it doesn't allow scalars. So we don't use it. 3. There's currently a bug in OMPI since 1.7.5 that affects the new gfortran 4.9 usage that I haven't had a chance to fix yet (it isn't super-high-priority because gfortran 4.9 isn't released yet). Hence, OMPI still doesn't use the gfortran 4.9 goodness so that it avoids this bug. :-\ See https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/ticket/4157 for more details. > I have also verified with strace that the proper mpi.mod file is being > accessed when I am trying to USE the mpi module. > > I have not dug into the openmpi code yet.

If you're using subroutines like MPI_INIT and other non-choice-buffer interfaces, they should be there in mpi.mod. Let me know if they're not -- we can dig further. -- Jeff Squyres jsquy...@cisco.com For corporate legal information go to: http://www.cisco.com/web/about/doing_business/legal/cri/
