(e.g. Silicon Graphics, ... This is a known problem. You must define the C macro "f2cFortran" in the CPPFLAGS environment variable before executing the configure script when building the UDUNITS package on a Linux system. Please 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. Ensure that the environment variable CPPFLAGS contains the string "-Df2cFortran", e.g., export CPPFLAGS=-Df2cFortran or setenv CPPFLAGS -Df2cFortran depending on your user shell. There are examples of this for Linux systems in the file INSTALL. 4. Perform steps 6 through 9 described near the end of the file INSTALL. Please let me know if this helps. Regards, Steve Emmerson
