    The version of NCAR Graphics you downloaded was built with the GNU
    compilers, and when this was done, certain scripts were created and
    variables were set based on this.

    If you look bin: $NCARG_ROOT/bin you'll find these scripts. 'ncargex'
    and 'ncargf77' are scripts, and you can change variables within those
    scripts. In 'ncargf77' you'll find where to change things from the
    defaults (in this case, GNU g77) to what you desire (ifort).

    Here, the loader is saying it cannot find the library libX11.{a,so} in the
    list of library paths ('-L...') that you've provided in which to search.
    The list of library search directories was set at 'Configure' time for
    NCAR Graphics; I admit to being surprised that /usr/X11R6/lib isn't on
    your host. If it's not, you'll have to determine where the X libraries
    are loaded, and modify the script accordingly.

    -Rick.
