DG,

It looks like you may be missing a system compiler library. The
undefined symbols "__cxa_begin_catch" are not coming from NCAR
Graphics, but rather your "libifcore" library. I googled this symbol,
and it seems like it might be in the libstdc++ library. Try to find
this library on your system, and then do an "nm" on it to see if the
symbol is defined:

    nm libstdc++.so | grep __cxa_end_catch

If it is, then edit the config file you are using in $NCARG/config,
add "-lstdc++" after "-lifcore", and rerun "make Everything".

If this symbol is not in libstdc++, then you will need to poke
around your other compiler libraries and see if you can find
the symbol.

Good luck,

--Mary
