Yes this is good advice.

The vm-display-X11 is a loadable module similar to an external plugin.
The error message you are seeing suggests that the VM was able to locate
the module, but had a problem when loading it. Possibly this is an
issue with the versions or locations of runtime libraries on your Linux
system.

The first thing to try is to use the latest VM from squeakvm/org/unix
and see if this makes a difference.
