It looks like your perl installation has a bug (perl's header-files are 
responsible for including any necessary definitions).  You could try upgrading 
your perl installation.  Otherwise, you'll have to try to determine what 
header-file defines "struct drand48_data" and add a "#include" of that file to 
UDUNITS.xs.

Alternatively, if you don't need the perl(1) interface, then execute the 
command "make distclean", set the environment variable PERL to the empty string 
and try building the package.
