detailed question about X11 library

I am not sure this is the right group for this question, but here goes:
I am trying to install a graphics package from the National Center for
Atmospheric Research (NCAR), the ncar graphics library. Most of the
package installs and works except that part which displays the results. That
is, that converts the cgm graphics file to an X11 window.
(I am using the laptop to do some work at a remote location and the
programs I am using have a long history and have used ncar graphics for a
while. Please don't suggest that I use another graphic package as the
recoding time is prohibitive.)
There are several routines that fail the compile, so I am only showing one
below (the smallest). The function open_log fails during a link to the X11
library. It is not clear in the source code why X11 is involved. I have not
gotten the X11 source code to see where and what this is. Does anyone
recognize what this problem might be?
I was able to install this software on YDL 2.1 (about a year ago). It also
installs on my Sun workstation running Solaris.
Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.
