The file "install.log" contained the following:

making `install' in directory 
/home/fliu/TOOLS/PLOTS/NCVIEW/udunits-1.12.4/src/perl
make[1]: Entering directory 
`/home/fliu/TOOLS/PLOTS/NCVIEW/udunits-1.12.4/src/perl'
Warning: You do not have permissions to install into 
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi at 
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/ExtUtils/Install.pm line 114.

make[1]: *** [pure_site_install] Error 13
...

If you need the Perl interface, then the superuser will have to execute the 
command "make install".

If you don't need the Perl interface, then do a "make distclean", set the 
environment variable PERL to the empty string, and rebuild and reinstall the 
package.

Steve Emmerson
