Dan, I've found out how to set up the user environment, which fixes the
library linking issue.
export LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/opt/lib
And I would recommend any one to set this up as one of their environment
variables if they install $XORG_PREFIX=/opt

You might have too add more to the $LIBRARY_PATH if you install desktops
in /opt (example: /opt/kde/lib or /opt/gnome-2.14.1/lib)
And eliminates the need to add lines like "-L/opt/lib -lGL -lXrender" to
non-autogenerated makefiles.
I got that info from the GCC man page :)
