The two issues  are kind of related to that:  we rolled our own 
non-flat-namespace libXt for libxaw3dxft-using packages to avoid forcing people 
to update Xquartz, since libXt switched from flat to two level namespace along 
the way, and we wanted non-Motif packages all to use the two level version.   
Unfortunately, other X11 libraries link to libXt and apparently don’t like 
mixing Fink’s and XQuartz’s versions of that library.

I’m in the process of putting up some interim test package builds to try out.  
These have a decimal revision, so that they will replace your currently 
installed packages, and will in turn be replaced by the official solutions.  To 
use them:

1) Update XQuartz to 2.7.10 or later.  Currently fink doesn’t have an obvious 
way to track that, but the next release should.
2) Download the relevant .info and .patch files from 
https://github.com/akhansen/Fink-experimental/tree/master/libXt 
<https://github.com/akhansen/Fink-experimental/tree/master/libXt> to 
/sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo.  You will need the items for libxaw3dxft 
and whatever other package you’re interested in.
3)  Update libxaw3dft(-shlibs) first, and then install your other package(s).  

This isn’t an exhaustive list, because I can’t spend too much time not doing my 
paid job.  I’ll add packages as time permits.
