Re^8: Can't build modules that load Socket.so

This is funny (or not actually :( ) Now when I try to compile Socket I get the same error.

-bash-3.00$ make test
PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" "test_h
+arness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t

Only the paths are different, I placed the Socket folder containing all the files and the folder t with all of its files , in my home directory. Should I place it somewhere else? (In /usr/local/perl perhaps? )

=item __inet_* errors

If you receive unresolved symbol errors during Perl build and/or test
referring to __inet_* symbols, check to see whether BIND 8.1 is
installed.  It installs a /usr/local/include/arpa/inet.h that refers t
+o
these symbols.  Versions of BIND later than 8.1 do not install inet.h
in that location and avoid the errors.  You should probably update to 
+a
newer version of BIND (and remove the files the old one left behind).
If you can't, you can either link with the updated resolver library pr
+ovided
with BIND 8.1 or rename /usr/local/bin/arpa/inet.h during the Perl bui
