That's very odd. The configure(1) script should have either found the function 
"XML_StopParser" in your system-supplied "expat" library or configured the 
build so that the expat functions are part of the UDUNITS-2 library.

What did the configurure(1) script find (what's the output of the command "grep 
COND_EXPAT config.status" executed in the top-level source-directory of the 
UDUNITS-2 package)? If the value of the COND_EXPAT_TRUE variable is "#", then 
the function should be in a system-supplied "expat" library; otherwise, the 
function should be in the UDUNITS-2 library. You can use the nm(1) utility to 
search a library.

That shouldn't make a difference.
