Rakesh,
I compiled this morning the version gmsh-2.5.1-svn-20111220-source with
no problem. I compile in 32 bit MSVC 2008 with blas (Intel) /Open Cascade.
Do you use cl compiler or Intel Compiler within Visual studio ?
Can you try to compile in 32 bit ? WSAStartup seems to be defined only
in WIN32.
Laurent.
