The above message contained the following:

Sorry, we don't have a binary distribution of the UDUNITS package for
SunOS 5.8.

The problem you are having:

> ln -s ../port/misc/udalloc.c .
> ln -s ../port/misc/udalloc.h .
> cc -c -O -I../port/misc -I../port/cfortran

...

comes from using an old-style (K&R I) C compiler rather than a Standard
C compiler. To build either the netCDF package or the UDUNITS package,
you must use a Standard C compiler.

To use a particular C compiler to build the UDUNITS package, do the
following:

    1.  Go to the top-level source directory.

    2.  Execute the command "make distclean".

    3.  Set your environment variables as before.

    4.  Set the environment variable CC to the absolute pathname of the
        Standard C compiler, e.g.

            CC=/opt/SUNWspro/bin/c89 export CC

        or

            setenv CC /opt/SUNWspro/bin/c89

    5.  Perform steps 4 through 7 in the INSTALL file in the "IF
        PROBLEMS OCCUR" section.

If you do not have a Standard C compiler, then you will be unable to
build either the UDUNITS or netCDF packages.

Please let me know if this helps.
