Si,

Unfortunately, the user only said the following on how they solved the problem:

Their answer doesn't indicate if they applied their solution to the UDUNITS-2 
package or to the cfchecks package.

I suggest trying the following with the UDUNITS-2 package:

    make distclean
    ./configure ... LDFLAGS="-L$prefix/lib -lexpat" >configure.log 2>&1
    make install >install.log 2>&1

The above assumes that $prefix is set to the installation prefix 
("/glade/u/home/siliu/udunits/2.1.24/gnu/4.7.2" in your case) and that a 
standard user-shell is used.

In any case, the cfchecks package needs to be modified to obtain the Expat 
library.
