I just tried that.  Here's what it said:

]/usr/src/ruby-1.8.1/ext/socket > ruby extconf.rb
checking for t_open() in -lnsl... no
checking for socket() in -lsocket... no
checking for netinet/tcp.h... yes
checking for netinet/udp.h... yes
checking for sendmsg()... no
checking for recvmsg()... no
checking for inet_ntop()... no
checking for inet_ntoa()... no
checking for inet_pton()... no
checking for inet_aton()... no
checking for getservbyport()... no
checking for arpa/inet.h... yes
checking for arpa/nameser.h... yes
checking for resolv.h... yes
checking for sys/un.h... yes
checking for sys/uio.h... yes
checking for socket()... no

Ideas?  Something missing from the gcc libraries?  Help?
