[OPEN-ILS-DEV] installing memcached on FC6

[Natasha Stephan]

Hi all,

I'll apologize in advance... I'm a newbie with regard to Evergreen.  And
I'm not much better with regard to Linux, but I have lots of help
available from the guys in my office.

 

So I'm working towards installing Evergreen on FC6.  I've been absorbing
everything I can from the DocuWiki, using the general prerequisites
information and info from the RedHat/Fedora page.  And I'm taking good
notes with the hope of contributing to the DocuWiki.

 

So far we've got all the prereqs I've seen mentioned except memcached.
I found mention of the following in the archives for this list:

www.danga.com/memcached

I went there and downloaded memcached-1.2.1, we read the README, and
made sure we had the dependencies listed (libevent, and epoll in the
kernel).  Then we ran configure, realized we needed a C compiler,
installed gcc, and tried configure again.  Got the following error:

checking for libevent directory... configure: error: libevent is
required.  You can get it from http://www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent/

      If it's already installed, specify its path using
--with-libevent=/dir/

So we tried that, libevent-1.1a... is in /usr/lib.  But specifying the
directory doesn't seem to work.  I've tried many variations on the
theme:

            [pathtomemcached]/memcached*/configure
--with-libevent=/usr/lib

But I still keep getting the same error.  Configure clearly isn't
finding libevent, at least not a version that it likes.

 

Do you all have any ideas?  Should I get a more recent version than
1.1a, from www.monkey.org <http://www.monkey.org/> ...?

Thanks,

Natasha
