Chris,

I'm not anywhere close to a "readgeneral.f" expert (so you might have
to contact the owners of that file) but I suspect that the problem is
statements like this


      integer*4 unitptr

in the file "readutils.f".  I suspect that one has to use 8-byte
integers in order to hold the pointer-to-unit-structures returned
by the UDUNITS package, i.e., the above statement should, instead,
be

      integer*8 unitptr

You might try that.
