The above message contained the following:

> I am trying to use the readgeneral.f program to read a netCDF file.
> Following the instructions shown in the program file, I installed the
> netCDF and UDUNITS libraries. The program readgeneral.f states in STEP

Judging from the above, I would say that your UDUNITS package was not
correctly built -- much less correctly installed.

Please try the following:

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

    2.  Perform steps 3 through 5 described near the end of the file
        INSTALL.

    3.  Ensure that the C macro appropriate for your Fortran compiler is
        defined in the environment variable CPPFLAGS (e.g. "export
        CPPFLAGS=-Df2cFortran" -- see the file INSTALL for examples and
        appropriate settings).

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