I used to get this one all the time. I'm still a little fuzzy on what it
means, but the solution is right there for you -- in cargo cult style [1],
I did what it said and it worked:

There's your hint: re-run ranli (see page one of the manual for details):
% ranlib /usr/X11R6/lib/libXxf86misc.a
This may need to be done as root, I forget:
% sudo ranlib /usr/X11R6/lib/libXxf86misc.a
I can't honestly say that I'm 100% clear what this does, aside from enable
shared libraries to be used by higher level programs, but in my case all I
had to do was execute that command and then re-try the Fink installation,
and everything went off without a hitch.
[1] as in "I am of a primitive society that has found this strange crate
full of modern equipment, and though I do not understand how the machines
work, I know that if I make the same incantations each time, they will
obey my commands." See also "The claw! It moves! Oooooohhh!" :)
