Perhaps the UDUNITS library needs to be compiled with the "-fPIC"
option.

Try this:

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

2. Execute the command "make distclean".

3. Execute the command "./configure CC=gcc CPPFLAGS='-DpgiFortran 
-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64' CFLAGS='-m64 -fPIC' LD_MATH=-lm".

4. Execute the command "make".

5. Execute the command "make test".

6. Execute the command "make install".

Redirect both the standard output and standard error stream from the above 
commands into their appropriate files so that, if something goes wrong, you can 
send me the files.

Steve Emmerson
