You almost certainly have a copy of socket.h somewhere, it's one
of the standard header files used in lots of C programs.
I found a copy in /usr/include/sys, as well as in the source directories
usr/src/linux-2.2.7.SuSe/include/linux.

Try typing locate socket.h to see if you have a copy.
If locate returns nothing, try updating your database of
programs: as root, run updatedb, then try locate again.

./configure will sometimes find the locations of these various files
automatically. If it doesn't, you can create a directory and copy the
needed files there. usr/include/asm should work.
