The build procedure doesn't know what Fortran calling-conventions to
use when compiling the Fortran interface.  The calling-conventions are
specified in the CPPFLAGS environment variable before executing the
configure script.

Please try the following:

    1.  Go to the top-level source-directory.

    2.  Perform steps 3 through 5 described near the end of

            http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/content/software/udunits/INSTALL.txt

    3.  Ensure that the environment variable CPPFLAGS contains the
        string "-Df2CFortran" (assuming you're either using g77(1) or
        don't need the Fortran interface).  For example

            export CPPFLAGS='-Df2CFortran -DNDEBUG'

    4.  Perform steps 6 through 9 described near the end of

            http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/content/software/udunits/INSTALL.txt

Please let me know if this helps.
