Class number one problem for imaginary quadratic fields was solved in 1966 by A. Baker and H.M. Stark independently. However, the problem for real quadratic fields is still unsolved. It seems to us that one of the most essential difficulties of the problem for real quadratic fields comes from deep connection of the class number with the fundamental unit.
