you are better off having X in its own subdir and not 'mixed in' with
the rest of /usr

I assume that the " ./configure " stage is failing
the ./configure script is calling pkg-config

do you have pkg-config installed?

    pkg-config

you should see  this :
    # pkg-config
    # Must specify package names on the command line
if not then you need to install pkg-config ( see section 12 )

if it is , then you need to make sure it is configured with the correct paths,

first lets find where xcb-proto.pc lives , assuming x's prefix *starts* /usr
    find /usr/ -name "xcb-proto.pc"
example output:
# /usr/X11/lib/pkgconfig/xcb-proto.pc

now take a peak at PKG_CONFIG_PATH

    echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH

if that does not contain the PATH noted with the find command above,
we shall tag it on the end

    export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/usr/X11/lib/pkgconfig

but that should have been setup in section Introduction to Xorg-<version>

and , yeah, pkg-config should probably be listed as a dependency some
place 'early' , maybe Xorg Protocol Headers?

Why do you say that? Unless it's part of your package management
strategy, putting everything in /usr is the least painful approach,
avoiding the usual problems with $PATH, $PKG_CONFIG_PATH, etc.

Yes, using alternate paths is a PITA. While X isn't really horrible, I 
still do it for the book on my dev VMs, but on my daily system I use 
/usr. Perhaps I should make that more clear in the book?

I guess I'm just old fashioned,
X is X, kde is kde, gnome is gnome
IMO they are all large enough projects to warrant their own subdir,
making for simple backup/trial switch
So, I guess it is package management, or rather an extension to the
pkguser strategy I use

so.. what does

    pkg-config --modversion xcb-proto

yield?
