libx11-dev

In debian the dev packages are always ending with -dev

Hint: try apt-cache search <name> 
for ex:

damien@poulenc:~$ apt-cache search libx11-6
libx11-6 - X Window System protocol client library
libx11-6-dbg - X Window System protocol client library (unstripped)
libx11-dev - X Window System protocol client library development files
xlibs-dbg - X Window System unstripped client libraries pseudopackage

cheers,
