The UDUNITS Fortran header file "udunits.inc" is designed to be
preprocessed by the C preprocessor. Your Fortran compiler is not doing
that. Look at the documentation for Fortran compiler and see if there
is an option that will force the compiler to preprocess the file. An
alternative is to try renaming the file to "udunits.F" because some
Fortran compilers will preprocess files that have a ".F" extension. If
you do this, then you will have to change any "#include <udunits.inc>"
lines in your program. Another alternative is to manually preprocess
the file using the C compiler, which will remove the preprocessor
directives.
