This sounds like a bug in the torsocks configure script to me - libdl on linux is required to use dlopen and similar functions, but on BSD is part of the normal libc. So, on linux, -ldl is required, and on freebsd, it is an error (libdl does not exist). I imagine if the script simply didn't check for or try to use libdl on BSD, you'd be fine.
But, this probably isn't the best place to report issues with torsocks - i'd recommend posting an issue to the bugtracker on http://code.google.com/p/torsocks/ and see where that will get you. - John Brooks On Sat, Nov 15, 2008 at 1:34 PM, Adlesshaven <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm trying to set up Torsocks on FreeBSD.
