In order to build the Fortran interface to the UDUNITS library, the C
compiler needs to know what calling conventions will be used by the
Fortran compiler.  It is told this by defining a certain C macro.  For
your system, the macro is "f2cFortran".

Please try 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.

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

Please let me know if this helps.
