This is rather clear and simple: You have the xfree86-base-shlibs package installed. Plus, it is an old version that won't work on Panther anyway. It must be a leftover from an older Fink installation. You first have to get rid of it before you can do anything else. Removing the /usr/X11R6 directory is not sufficient, it has to be erased from the package database, too. If "fink remove xfree86-base-shlibs" won't work, use force:
sudo dpkg --remove --force-all xfree86-base-shlibs
Then [re]install either the two Apple X11 packages or the Fink xfree86 package.
