The terminology is a bit confusing here. Xlib is the X protocol
library, and what you're downloading is the PostScript documentation
of it. The actual implementation is in the libX11 package. The modular
versions are here:

But it might be an issue mixing versions if you're using Xorg-6.9. You
might want to contact your distro about this.
