 Your package is borken, this is not a pbuilder issue, but pbuilder
 detects it: you are missing build-dependencies.  In this case, it seems
 you're missing a build-dependency on libx11-dev.

 pbuilder is helpful in detecting missing build-dependencies because it
 starts from an almost virgin environment.

 Your "dpkg-buildpackage" is successful because the build-dependencies
 are installed on your system, but it is an error in your package not to
 list them in the control file.


 I suggest you try understanding what the requirements are to build your
 package, this is usually achieved by reading the upstream INSTALL file
 or better: the configure.ac/in.  You can then derive the needed
 build-deps.

   Bye,
