I don't use Red Hat at home so I'm not familiar with it. Has anyone
else had problems getting epoll support working on "Red Hat Linux
release 9 (Shrike)"?

I don't have root on this box so I have to trust that the admins
applied the epoll kernel patch correctly. The problem in compiling
libevent is the same one I've seen on other boxes when the patch is
not applied:

emented and will always fail
Anyone have any ideas?
