Configure msgs like these usually mean that the just tested for
library/feature is missing on the system.

In this particular case it checks for unix/bsd(?) like sockets
and fails because on Win32 you will have to use winsock(2).

You should fix this by modifying the appropriate test in configurere.in
and then rerun autoconf. Chances are that you will then encounter
more similar problems (which would require similar fixes...)

Since you weren't aware what the above error means this solution
might not be for you...

Best,
Michael
