You need to configure the UDUNITS-2 package so that it uses the same top-level 
installation directory as the installed netCDF package. You do this via the 
"--prefix=" option of the configure(1) script. In your case, the command should 
be "./configure --prefix=/usr/local" (I think the netCDF package uses 
"/usr/local" as the installation directory). Otherwise, the UDUNITS-2 package 
will try to install itself using the parent directory as the installation 
directory.
