Chung-Lin,

User the file(1) utility to determine the the bit-size of the UDUNITS
and netCDF libraries, e.g.,

    file /usr/user6/shie/dir-t2m/local/lib/libudunits.a
    file /usr/apps/netcdf-3.6.1/lib/libnetcdf*

Then, decide which package to rebuilt using the bit-size of the other.
If the netCDF library is 64-bit and the UDUNITS library is 32-bit, then
I recommend re-installing the UDUNITS library as a 64-bit version.

To do that, re-do the steps from building and installing the UDUNITS
package.  At the step that defines environment variables, ensure that
the environment variable CFLAGS contains the string "-64", e.g.,

    setenv CFLAGS '-O -64'

Then, when building the readgeneral utility, ensure that the option
"-64" is given to the f77(1) compiler (as well as references to the
UDUNITS and netCDF libraries).

Regards,
Steve Emmerson
