X11/Intrinsic.h should be part of the libXt-dev package.  Try installing
this package and restarting your McIDAS-X build from the beginning:

<as 'root'>
-- install libXt-dev

<as 'mcidas'>
cd ~mcidas/mcidas2009/src
make clobber
make
make install

re:

Thanks.  I think that indications point to your setup missing the
libXt-dev package.

Cheers,

Tom
