I am trying to install memcached 1.2.6 and am having problems at the configure stage. When running configure I get checking for libevent directory... configure: error: libevent is required. You can get it from http://www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent/ If it's already installed, specify its path using --with- libevent=/dir/ However libevent is installed in /opt/libevent but even if I pass -- with-libevent=/opt/libevent to configure I still get the same error message (Have also tried passing all the subdirs as arguements aswell). The libevent installed is version 1.4.4 So can anyone tell me why memcached is refusing to acknowledge it's existence and what I can do to solve the problem.
The configure script will try to compile an link a program using libevent, and this fails on your machine. You should look at the compilation output in config.log to see why it failed.
