The above seems to show a problem with your perl installation. You need a good perl installation in order to install the UDUNITS perl module. I suggest that you show the above messages to your system administrator or someone who knows about perl. > And, if I don't need Perl extension module, > I would like to get how to do. To build and install the UDUNITS package without the perl module, do the following: 1. Go to the top-level source directory. 2. Perform steps 3 through 5 described near the end of the file INSTALL. 3. Set the environment variable PERL to the empty string, e.g. export PERL= or setenv PERL '' depending on your user shell. 4. Perform steps 6 through 9 described near the end of the file INSTALL. Please let me know if this helps. Regards, Steve Emmerson <http://www.unidata.ucar.edu>
