If you are talking about the undefined references to "s_cat", "s_cmp",
etc, then I think this may be due to the fact that you could be
linking against libraries that were compiled with the GNU compilers.
If so, you might want to try including "-lg2c" on the compile line.

If you don't have the GNU compilers and don't want to install them,
then you may want to consider building NCAR Graphics from source
yourself, using the PGI compilers.  These undefined references won't
be an issue.
