Having some problems getting to the list from my mail server; trying 
again with a different address.

I get this as well - however, it's not limiting. It would normally be 
/usr/lib; This may be a problem somewhere in configure.

I got this using both 127.0.0.1 and another internal IP address.

Running it with no -l worked here:

./memcached -d -m 128 -p 11211
