There's no specific `libsocket' library to link with on linux.
AFAIK, the socket routines are built into the standard libc. (The man page
for `socket' doesn't say anything differently). (Doing a "strings" command
over my /lib/libc.so showed that the symbol exists in there).
Try taking out the -lsocket from that link line you are using (or in the
Makefile, whatever). It's not needed.
