Hmm... I don't think that you should have to make the change that you
made _if_ the development environment was correct.  I say this after
looking at the setup on 64-bit Fedora [78] Linux boxes here at Unidata.

Notice that on our machines there is no libX11.so in the 32-bit directory:

/usr/lib% ls -alt libX11*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      15 2007-11-26 01:47 libX11.so.6 -> libX11.so.6.2.0*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1028160 2007-10-19 13:37 libX11.so.6.2.0*

/usr/lib% file libX11.so.6.2.0
libX11.so.6.2.0: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), 
stripped

There is, however, the expected link in the 64-bit directory:

/usr/lib64% ls -alt libX11*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      15 2007-11-26 01:49 libX11.so -> libX11.so.6.2.0*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      15 2007-11-26 01:40 libX11.so.6 -> libX11.so.6.2.0*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1064168 2007-10-19 13:37 libX11.so.6.2.0*

/usr/lib64% file libX11.so.6.2.0
libX11.so.6.2.0: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), 
stripped

I bet that your system has no libX11.so link in either /usr/lib or /usr/lib64.
This link should be made when X is installed or updated by yum.

So, you/your system admin needs to figure out why the libX11.so link does
not exist on your system and correct it.  (NB: simply making the link by
hand (as 'root') is NOT the way to do this.)

And, after the libX11.so link is correctly in place in /usr/lib64, I would
rebuild GEMPAK from scratch just to make sure.

Cheers,

Tom
