20010201: Compile problems with udunits: PUNIT_cfSTR macro

Larrabee,

I just built version 1.11.7 of the UDUNITS package on our RedHat Linux
2.2.16 system.  It went OK.  I used the same version of egcs and perl
that you did -- although there are some differences between your
installation of these pacakges and mine.  I've enclosed relevant details.

Based on my knowledge of the Fortran interface of the UDUNITS package, I
doubt that the cause of the problem is my use of the native Fortran-77
compiler (/usr/bin/f77) and your use of the Absoft Fortran compiler.

I'm afraid that I don't know what to tell you.  I suspect that the
problem has something to do with your perl installation.

Regards,
Steve Emmerson   <http://www.unidata.ucar.edu>
