Maybe you need libx11-dev ?

It would fail at the compile stage if that were the problem. More likely is that the version required isn't there. On my system I find:
 $ locate libX11.so
/usr/lib/libX11.so.6
/usr/lib/libX11.so.6.4.0
/usr/lib64/libX11.so
/usr/lib64/libX11.so.6
/usr/lib64/libX11.so.6.4.0
 Both 32 and 64 bit versions.But oddly there isn't a 32 bit libX11.so. (Just a link as are most of these.)

AFAIK 32-bit libs have to be installed manually. The wole shebang:
sudo apt update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install gcc-multilib
With gcc, you'll also need the -m32 compiler flag.
