ncview appears to be missing dependencies

Hi, I tried to install ncview-1.93g using Macports, here is the all story:

sudo port install ncview

Error, the X libraries and development headers must be installed for ncview to work!

Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

I thought that the X libraries were installed by default ... Could someone help me with this ? Thanks, Caroline
