Having it in /etc/profile is fine, although modifying that variable is
risque at best. Do it on the per-user level.

This is most likely a shared-object issue. I bet if you added the path:
/opt/lib
(or whatever it is for you)
in the file /etc/ld.so.conf, and ran:
ldconfig -X
that it would then work from /opt
Of course, your other option is to forget /opt, and use stow as a means of
managing external apps from /usr/local/* ....
