The error you're seeing, and the listing of X11 libraries [deleted] you
provided, indicate that you don't have installed static versions --
that is, non-shared versions -- of these libraries. You have shared
object libraries ("*.so") and the NCAR Graphics applications are
expecting static ("*.a") libraries.

You can install the static versions of libraries on your host by
visiting the XFree86 Project website at:
     www.xfree86.org
and downloading the appropriate distribution for your host. There are
both ftp and http servers available. You may download the latest
version (v4.5.0), but there are links to older distributions. At the
very least, you want v4.1.0
