Hi, I'm also new to the list. Also running amd 64 and also had the same problem initially. I found libevent (version 1.1a) was already installed on my Fedora due to some other dependency in /usr/lib64. The downloaded tarball installs 1.2 to /usr/local/lib (and headers to /usr/local/include), so I explicitly referred to these libraries in my compiles, e.g gcc -o myapp -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib -levent myapp.c and then the following to run myapp; LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib ./myapp Everything now works fine.
Hope that helps. Thanks, Niels for a great library!
