If /etc/X11 is a symlink to /usr/X11R6, you did not remove it with this command. /etc/X11/ with a trailing slash stands for the directory the link points to, not the link itself.


[/] %% sudo ls /etc/X11/ /usr/X11R6/
ls: /etc/X11/: No such file or directory
ls: /usr/X11R6/: No such file or directory

If /etc/X11 is a symlink that points to nowhere now, you get this answer.


[/] %% fink install xfree86
sudo /sw/bin/fink install xfree86

You have an existing X11 installation in /usr/X11R6 and/or /etc/X11.

You still have the symlink /etc/X11->/usr/X11R6. Remove it "sudo rm /etc/X11".
