Try running memcached with LD_DEBUG set to "libs".  That should tell you
where it is looking for your libraries.

$ LD_DEBUG=libs memcached -v
      6741:     find library=libevent.so.0; searching
      6741:      search cache=/etc/ld.so.cache
      6741:       trying file=/usr/lib/libevent.so.0
      6741:
      6741:     find library=libc.so.6; searching
      6741:      search cache=/etc/ld.so.cache
      6741:       trying file=/lib/tls/libc.so.6
