current system:

OpenBSD 3.1, Perl 5.6.1
Trying to upgrade to Perl 5.8.2
sh Configure -de - ran - errors reported but the script didn't indicate that these errors are significant and script reports success at end

run make

get this error:

cc -pthread -L/usr/local/lib -o miniperl miniperlmain.o opmini.o libpe
+rl.a -lbind -lm -lutil -lc_r
perl.o: Undefined symbol '_SOCKSinit' referenced from text segment
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/local/perl-5.8.2 (line 231 of makefile).

Okay, where is the problem and how to I fix it?
Thanks
