The error you're seeing indicates that when trying to create your
executable 'plotfmt' the build process cannot locate the X11
libraries (specifically libX11.{a, so}) it's looking for. This could
be because your Makefile isn't specifying that you need this (and
possibly other) libraries, or it's specifying an incorrect location
for them, or (unlikely) X11 isn't installed on your host.

Have a look at your Makefile and look for things like

     -L/usr/X11/lib -lX11

Send me your Makefile if you'd like further assistance. I would also
suggest consulting folks at your home institution who may have
experience using the MM5 model environment and NCAR Graphics.

-Rick.
