Obviously the warning is not meant to be fatal, because the 
shell script continues. But it might be worth finding out 
where libX11.so lives, just in case. Mine is in /usr/X11R6/lib/
That's on a Fedora box. Debian and Ubuntu might put it
somewhere else, but I think X libraries (as opposed to X
servers) are included in the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard
and thus supposed to be in specific places. 

The "[: x11-2: integer expression expected" stuff looks like
there's an error in the shell script. My shell scripting is 
still at about chapter 2 of the O'Reilly book. But a guess:

I think it's a typo in the script. Perhaps a missing square 
bracket or something? bash can spill out all manner of odd 
complaints when you omit a bracket or miss the ; key and type 
a ' mark instead. 

If you can send lines 350-354 and thereabouts to the list,
someone who understands this stuff can make a better guess. 

I wonder if the "x11" bit of the errors means that being 
unable to find libX11.so is more fatal than it seems.
