Hello,
I'm back to report my success with the installation of Xorg-7.0.0
($XORG_PREFIX=/opt).
Now just to confirm what was already suggested on this list (Only in relation
to Xorg-7.0.0 and its libs) :-

You two were Correct. I did have to set uid root to /opt/bin/Xorg

That was fixed as well because /opt/bin/Xorg was uid root. :)

The rgb.txt file is now installed at /opt/share/X11/rgb.txt, as expected.
The "xorgconfig" command will create an Xorg.conf file, with the rgb path
written as :- RgbPath "/opt/lib/X11/rgb"
So I had to correct the line to :- RgbPth "/opt/share/X11/rgb"

The /etc/ld.so.conf file already includes the line "/opt/lib", as created from
the LFS-6.1.1 book instructions. So that was cool.
But I still had the same problems with the ldd linker this time around.
The only way I could get the "fgl-gears32.c" to compile, was to create
symbolic links (for testing perposes only) from /opt/lib{libGL*,LibXrender*}
to /usr/lib.
Now the fgl-gears32.c file did come with its own make file that was not
generated by ./configure or libtool or any other auto configuration tool.
Infact, this is the Makefile itself:
//---------Start of Makefile-----------//
CFLAGS ?= -g3
LIBS += -lGL -lXrender
fgl_glxgears32 : fgl_glxgears32.o
$(CC) -o $@ $(LIBS) $^
//-----------End of Makefile----------//
And this is the error output (without the symbolic linking to /usr/ib):
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/fgl_glxgears32$ make
cc -o fgl_glxgears32 -lGL -lXrender fgl_glxgears32.o
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lGL
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [fgl_glxgears32] Error 1

Does anyone think I've missed something out?

I'm still looking into finding a solution for this. At the moment I'm looking
into the
ld.so, ld-linux.so* - dynamic linker/loader man pages.
Oh yea, on the side note. If you install the Nvidia Open-gl libs in /opt, you
will find that the libGL.la file will have this following line:
-------//---start of line 13 0f the /opt/lib/libGL.la file-------//-----
# Libraries that this one depends upon.
dependency_libs=' -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lm -lXext -lX11 -ldl'
----------//--end of line 14 of the /opt/lib/libGL.la file-------//-----

Dave
