Did you install opt in /opt? If so, do you have PKG_CONFIG_PATH set as
described in the intro to Xorg? LIBRARY_PATH? C_INCLUDE_PATH?
CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH?

Well the book says "The common installation prefix for Xorg on Linux is
/usr", not /usr/X11, Since you used /usr/X11, then it is in an
alternate location. To use /opt, you would have only needed to change
XORG_PREFIX to /opt/xorg but don't try that now.
In any case, what are the actual contents of /etc/profile.d/xorg.sh?
You should have lines like
pathappend /usr/X11/lib/pkgconfig PKG_CONFIG_PATH
If not, then $XORG_PREFIX needs to be defined in /etc/profile.d/xorg.sh.
What is the output of
echo $PATH
echo $LIBRARY_PATH
echo $C_INCLUDE_PATH
echo $CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH
