Install can't find libevent (Solaris 10 libevent 1.3b memcached 1.2.2

[Paul Lindner]

This error message is a little confusing, since the problem can be the
absence of libevent or a failure to link against the libevent library.

I would try running the configure script like this:

  sh -x ./configure --my-configure-flags

This will show you what was going on when ./configure failed.

Do you have another version of libevent lying around?  I know I had to
be very careful on SuSE 10 to not link against their old libevent
installed in the system.
