Hello,

This is not an NCAR Graphics or NCL error; the notation '-lm'  
references the system math library, libm.a

Typically your compiler (and loader, /usr/bin/ld) will know where to  
find system libraries as part of its 'knowledge' about its environment.

Typically the math library is located in:  /usr/lib/libm.a    so you  
could try:

f95 -0 file  file.f  -L/usr/local/lib/ -lncarg -lncarg_gks -lncarg_c - 
lx11 -L/usr/lib -lm

I would encourage you to speak with your system administrator for  
your host about this; it's usually an error that indicates a problem
with system/compiler installation.
