cannot find -lexpat

I have tried to build NCL 6.2.1 on our Linux cluster and get a failure
during compilation when I test it that seems to be the location of the
expat library.

The library is installed in /lib64

   Copying cpexcc.f

The compile and link failed.

I also tried running the 6.2.1 binary, but get the same failure during
compilation.

The expat RMS is installed.

Summary : An XML parser library
Description :
This is expat, the C library for parsing XML, written by James Clark. Expat
is a stream oriented XML parser. This means that you register handlers with
the parser prior to starting the parse. These handlers are called when the
parser discovers the associated structures in the document being parsed. A
start tag is an example of the kind of structures for which you may
register handlers.
/lib64/libexpat.so.1
/lib64/libexpat.so.1.5.2
/usr/bin/xmlwf

On an older version of NCAR 5.2.1, I don't see -lexpat" in the
compilation.......
