Please ask the maintainer. The 'udunits' R package seems to require its
libraries in particular places. Note that it is looking for
/usr/lib/libudunits.a, that is a static library in a 32-bit library
directory, whereas you most likely have /usr/lib64/libudunits.so or
/usr/lib64/libudunits.a (This only works for me because I have both 32-
and 64-bit versions of udunits installed.)
However, that is if you have udunits installed, since
/usr/include/udunits.h is missing. You do need both the udunits and
udunits-dev packages installed.

Hi R Users,
I am new to running R on a Linux platform (I'm used to Windows)
On Windows someone else struggled with this badly designed package for
you.

Pentium D (x86_64).
I am having problems successsfully configuring the downloaded package
'udunits'. When I execute
install.packages("udunits", lib="/usr/local/lib/R/library")
I get the following result:

I have tried downloading the package manually and running ./configure, but with
the same result. As the error message suggested, I looked at the file
udunits_1.0/udunits/src/Makevars.in, (contents below), but am not sure what to
modify.
