runsocks is a shell script, what does it set SOCKS5_SHLIB_RUNPATH to &
does that match the shared lib location?
i don't use runsocks for ssh, i compile in socks5 support as
described below.

does the configure/compilation succeed?
bash# ./configure --with-socks5="-L/opt/local/lib -lsocks5"
works fine when the socks archive lib is in /opt/local/lib.
& then
bash# ssh -v foo.com
sends the connection out via the socks5 server if required & you see the
connection details in the socks5 logs.
