Thanks for your response Jeff. My offset is of kind MPI_OFFSET_KIND which leads me to believe it is the derived type that is causing the compilation error. I'm also able to successfully compile and run the same code using MPICH2. Out of curiousity, how is it that some of the more standard MPI routines in the F90 interface such as MPI_SEND are able to accept derived types for buffers whereas parallel I/O routines are not?
