Your problem is that you installed MacPorts and did not remove the
library files it installed.  Please go to the MacPorts site and ask
there on how to do this.

BTW, I will be uploading a build of Wine 1.1.16 that runs on my system
and does not include any of the Fink or MacPorts products

You should not need to reinstall X11.  However, I would like to know
what version of MacOSX you are using and if your system is PowerPC  or
Intel based.

Thank you.
