Odd. It may have something to do with your localized copy of libSDL.
The one from blastwave doesn't require -lsocket.  I've been using
a version of these patches for a year, and never ran into that problem.

The configure script wants to use ginstall, assuming you've got it in your
path.  I did not use "install" because there are several variations of install
on Solaris, and configure is coded to make sure you don't use them.

It recommends /usr/ucb/install if you don't have GNU install (or it can't find
it because it's looking for ginstall).  I'll have to check the logic to make 
sure

That's a localized configuration requirement you have, and that configure should
probably not try to take into account.

You're welcome.
