Cygwin, eh? I don't know whether or not the UDUNITS package will build on that
platform.
The file "configure.log" had the following error:
expanding `include's in file `Makefile'
./config.status: line 1163: Makefile: No such file or directory
Go to the top-level source-directory. Does the file "Makefile" exist?
Does the file "config.log" indicate what, specifically, is the problem in
expanding the "include" statements in that file.

Steve Emmerson
