Kathleen,

Doe the file "/usr/local/bin/udunits2" exist?

> I think that I have a problem with the udunits installation.  I am running
> Centos7.  I followed the instructions to install udunits that are found here
> <http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/udunits/udunits-current/doc/udunits/udunits2.html#Installation>.
> I ran the yum install udunits command, which finished successfully.
> However, I cannot locate udunits on my machine.  Does this make sense?  The
> "locate" and "which" commands come up empty when searching for udunits.
> Does that mean there was a problem with the installation?
> 
> Here is output from the install line of code:
> *kholman# yum install udunits*
> *Loaded plugins: fastestmirror*
> *Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile*
> * * base: ftpmirror.your.org <http://ftpmirror.your.org>*
> * * epel: kdeforge2.unl.edu <http://kdeforge2.unl.edu>*
> * * extras: mirror.pac-12.org <http://mirror.pac-12.org>*
> * * updates: centos.mirror.constant.com <http://centos.mirror.constant.com>*
> *Package udunits-2.2.23-1.x86_64 already installed and latest version*
> *Nothing to do?*
> 
> ?I think there is a problem with the installation because I receive a
> follow-up error when I try to install an R package that requires udunits.
> Any idea what to do here?

Regards,
Steve Emmerson
