On a Linux system, it's usually necessary to define the C macro
"f2cFortran" in order to compile the UDUNITS library (you can see
examples of this in the INSTALL file).

Try the following:

    1.  Go to the top-level source directory of the package.

    2.  Perform steps 3 through 5 near the end of the INSTALL file.
        Ensure that the environment variable CPPFLAGS contains the
        string "-Df2cFortran".

    3.  Perform steps 6 through 9 near the end of the INSTALL file.

Please let me know if this helps.
