Don't ask us about anything from Macports. :-)

The fact that there's no "-L/usr/X11/lib" or "-L/usr/X11R6/lib" on those
lines is pretty suspicious. Let's see what you get from

	fink dumpinfo -fenv ddd | grep X11

In my case (10.5), I get

$ fink dumpinfo -fenv ddd | grep X11
 MANPATH=/sw/share/man:/usr/share/man:/usr/X11/man:/sw/lib/perl5/5.8.8/man:/usr/X11R6/man:/sw/lib/perl5-core/5.10.0/man:/sw/lib/perl5/5.10.0/man:/sw/lib/perl5-core/5.8.6/man:/sw/lib/perl5/5.8.6/man
 PATH=/sw/var/lib/fink/path-prefix-g++-4.0:/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin

	
For Max:  even though the package builds for me, it's probably worth
modifying the ConfigureParams, because the X11 detection looks a little
sketchy as-is on a modern X11:

...
