This looks like a typo to me, but I can't decide whether it's yours or
something that got included in your system.  In any case, it's almost
certainly looking for libXext.<mumble>.  It should be in
/usr/X11R6/lib.

There was no space on the live file system for X, so it's not there.
It's in XF8632/X32bin.tgz on the first CD-ROM, along with a number of
other essential libraries:

-rw-r--r-- root/users     9553 Mar 21 15:20 1997 lib/liboldX.so.6.0

You should install all of these libraries to /usr/X11R6.
