libX11.so.6 and libX11.so.6.2 are in XFree86-libs, which I presume you
have.  I guess you then also have libXext.so.6 and libXext.so.6.4 (or
so).  What you are missing are the symbolic links

libX11.so -> libX11.so.6
and
libXext.so -> libXext.so.6

But it would really be better to install the development packages...
