You may have your libX11.so.3 in the wrong place, my Slack 3.0 libX11 are:
/usr/i486-linux/lib/libX11.so.6
/usr/i486-linux/lib/libX11.so.6.0
/usr/i486-linuxaout/lib/libX11.so.3
/usr/i486-linuxaout/lib/libX11.so.3.1.0
/usr/i486-linuxaout/lib/libX11.so.6
/usr/i486-linuxaout/lib/libX11.so.6.0
/usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6
/usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6.0  
(Can't tell for sure because I haven't tried to compile xtoolplaces yet --
mine might be wrong too!)
