Problem with porting of an application which depends on linux libs.

Hi.

I am trying to port tsocks - http://tsocks.sourceforge.net which depends
on libdl.
The libdl library is included in glibc which is located in
/usr/compat/linux/lib/libdl.so.2
How can I use this library with my port?
I suspect it isn't possible to link freebsd executables against linux libs.
Or is it?


Error message:
checking for dlsym in -ldl... no
configure: error: libdl is required
===>  Script "configure" failed unexpectedly.

Cheers,
YazzY
