The "-lresolv" is included - or not - in the Makefile after the execution of 
the "./configure" script, depending on the presence of name service -related 
functions in your glibc. As it was not included in your case, you might be 
missing a "glibc-devel" package of some sort -- just make sure you have the 
libresolv's on your system, and re-run the "./configure" script.
Other than that, the "LIBS" variable is the one you should edit in your 
Makefile.

Good luck,

Olivier.
