This looks pretty obvious. You need to link with the socket library,
on Solaris systems. Add "-lsocket" to your library paths, and
it should work. tcl was already built with -lsocket and
references it. You could ask, why nam's configure-script
didn't realize that, and put it in for your automagically.

HTH,
 Daniel
