The build procedure needs to be told where to find the yacc(1) and math 
libraries. Try this:

1. Execute the command "make distclean" to start from scratch. Don't worry if 
it fails.
2. Re-execute the configure script with the arguments "LD_YACC=-ly" and 
"LD_MATH=-lm", e.g., "./configure ... LD_YACC=-ly LD_MATH=-lm >configure.log 
2>&1"; where the "..." denotes any other options.
3. Re-execute the "make" command.

This is bad. It indicates an incompatibility between your perl(1) installation 
and your c89(1) compiler and is outside the scope of the UDUNITS package. You 
might try re-installing the perl(1) package and/or the compiler.
