Title: Add support for installing Root on Linux Mint

Workaround to successfully install on my system, Linux Mint 13.

Ubuntu 11 changed the location of the libX11 files, which broke the root install. Root has since fixed this for Ubuntu, but Linux Mint is still experiencing this bug. Mint is based off Ubuntu, so had the same path changes.

My current solution is to add the specific libX11 dirs on my machine, which should be the same for all 64bit Ubuntu/Mint machines, and at any rate don't break anything. This fixes the libX11 dependencies, but compilation is still breaking for libjpeg due to a similar error, and I've yet to figure out how to fix this.

Probably something more sophisticated should be done.
