You didn't specify the _version_ of Xcode or your OS version, but  
judging by the nature of the problem, I'll assume you're on 10.5 and  
have installed Xcode 3.1.2.

Apple decided not to ship any *.la files (which are libtool archive  
files, rather than libraries) with their X11 SDK, starting with Xcode  
3.1.2.  Unfortunately, Fink packages from our binary distribution were  
built assuming the existence of those.

I've posted suggested workarounds in a recent message on this list:
