Comment(by dkubas@…):

 If you used fink to install try to  source /sw/bin/init.sh  or source
 /sw/bin/init.csh . That set the environment correctly for me (OS X 10.5.8)
 and Xfig 3.2 ran smoothly without that startup complaint.

 Good Luck!

 xfig 3.2.5.  exact error message upon starting xfig:

 is none installed at all.  You should install the correct version or you
 may lose some features.  This may be done with 'make install' in the xfig
 source directory."
