I'm trying to install memcached (1.4.5) on Linux (Boron 5.5). My machine already has the libevent .so files (libevent-1.4.so.2, libevent_core-1.4.so.2, libevent_extra-1.4.so.2). Admin policy won't allow me to load the libevent source files onto this machine and follow the normal build instructions.
I have tried running the memcached configure command using --with- libevent=/dir_where_so_files_reside/ but this fails with the message: checking for libevent directory... configure: error: libevent is required. You can get it from .... Can this be done? Does memcached use static or dynamic links to libevent? Thanks, Hoping to find a way to use memcached
