This is backwards...

linux:/usr/X11R6/lib # ln -s libX11.so /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6

It should be ...

linux:/usr/X11R6/lib # ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 libX11.so

after creating the symbolic link it might be nessary to run...

ldconfig

The requires root access.  What this does is update a database with all 
known .so  files so that you can use them in your programs.  The file 
/etc/ld.conf tells ldconfig where to look for .so files.  So you will 
want to make sure that /usr/X11R6/lib is in there. (It probably is)

In most distro's ldconfig is run at boot.  (follow /etc/inittab thru the 
scripts for you system to know for sure or just trust me and reboot :) )
