The file's size in bytes must be (at least) the number of values being read times the size of each value.  If you are giving the file size in bytes as the length of the array, that will not work.

What information do you have about the format of the file?  Are the values supposed to be 4-byte integers?  If so, you should divide the file size in bytes by 4 and use the I type, and look at the data to see if it makes any sense.

Good luck
