The error you sent:

does indicate that libX11.so can not be found.

My first guess would be that your machine does not have a full development
environment installed.  What is the result of:

locate libX11

If a reference to libX11.so is not included in the list generated by
'locate', you will need to work with your system administrator to get
X development stuff loaded.  If it is included in the list, it may be that
it is in a non-standard location, OR it may be that you have LD_LIBRARY_PATH
defined so that the directory where libX11.so is located is not included
in a library search.  If this turns out to be the case, I recommend starting
the build from scratch and undefining LD_LIBRARY_PATH before attempting
a new build.

Cheers,

Tom
