I'm afraid that I can't help you with problems compiling file
readgeneral.f because that's not my file.

The UDUNITS Fortran header file "udunits.inc" is meant to be
preprocessed by the C preprocessor.  Apparently, your Fortran compiler
doesn't preprocess *.f files in this way.  Try renaming the file from
readgeneral.f to readgeneral.F -- this might activate preprocessing.
Alternative, try to find an option for your Fortran that makes it
preprocess input files.
