What do you mean that you "get the errors pointing to the following
parts of the udunits.inc"?

The routine utmake() returns a pointer to a newly-allocated unit
structure.  The receiving Fortran variable must be large enough to hold
this pointer.  It sounds like the definition of PTR is insufficient for
the task.

What Fortran primitive type is equivalent to a C pointer on
Blackforest?
