[OPEN-ILS-DEV] RE: installing memcached on FC6

[Natasha Stephan]

Hello all,
Okay, an update.  I was able to download and install a version of memcached specifically for FC6, from here:

http://www.enlartenment.com/packages/fedora/6...

No errors yet, so I'm thinking this is good!
Thanks,
Natasha

Subject: installing memcached on FC6

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...?
Thanks,
Natasha
