If you are installing from source, then you should have the X11 SDK installed.
In either case, run "fink-virtual-pkgs" in a terminal window to make sure that you have all of the necessary "system-xfree86*" and "x11*" virtual packages.

You have an existing X11 installation in /usr/X11R6 and/or /etc/X11.
This package refuses to overwrite these. Remove them, then tell Fink to
install xfree86 again. (The package won't be recompiled.) If you want
to keep your X11 installation, install system-xfree86 resp. system-xtools
instead to make this known to Fink's package system.
Press Return to continue.
