Type "locate libX11.6.dylib" to see if you have the X11 libraries on your disk.  If so, you need to add the directory where they are to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH.  

However, it is more likely that you have run into the de-support of X11, which used to come standard with Mac OS.  Now, however, it does not, so you need a third party package for X11.  One package for this is XQuartz:
