The above message contained the following:

The output from the "make test" step:

Indicates that the package was successfully built.

The problem appears to be in the "make install" step:

The above indicates that the attempt to install the UDUNITS Perl
extension module failed because of insufficient permission to copy the
extension module into the following perl installation directory:

    /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi

You will probably have to be root in order to successfully execute the
"make install" command.

If you do not want the UDUNITS Perl extension module, then you should

    1.  Go to the top-level source directory.

    2.  Perform steps 3 through 5 described near the end of the file
        INSTALL.

    3.  Ensure that the enviroment variable PERL is set to the empty
        string, e.g.,

            export PERL=

        or

            setenv PERL ""

        depending on your user-shell.

    4.  Perform steps 6 through 9 described near the end of the file
        INSTALL.

Please let me know if this helps.
