The configure(1) script wasn't told what argument-passing conventions to use when compiling C functions that are callable from Fortran routines. Please try the following: 1. Go to the top-level source-directory. 2. Execute the command "make distclean". 3. Ensure that the environment variable CPPFLAGS contains the string "-Df2cFortran" (or whatever macro definition is appropriate for your Fortran compiler), e.g., CPPFLAGS=-Df2cFortran; export CPPFLAGS The set of potential macros can be found in the examples of the file INSTALL in the top-level source-directory. 4. Execute the "configure" script. Redirect both the standard output and standard error streams to the file "configure.log". 5. Execute the command "make". Redirect both the standard output and standard error streams to the file "make.log". 6. Execute the command "make test". Redirect both the standard output and standard error streams to the file "test.log". 7. Execute the command "make install". Redirect both the standard output and standard error streams to the file "install.log". > I thank you so much in advance! > > Kindest regards, > > Michel > -- > Michel Mesquita > Research Assistant > International Arctic Research Center > address@hidden > URL: http://web.mac.com/mmeclimate/ Regards, Steve Emmerson Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: OKW-899269 Department: Support UDUNITS Priority: Normal Status: Closed
