libX11.so.6 Library not found!

Any clue what I'm doing wrong?
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.
The theory is that assembler Forth are less portable.
I had a 64 bit ciforth running in a matter of weeks (2008).
(But macro's handling 16/32 difference were in place already)
