[Libevent-users] AMD Ath64

[Adrian Cuthbertson]

Hi, I'm also new to the list. Also running amd 64 and also had the same
problem initially. I found libevent (version 1.1a) was already installed
on my Fedora due to some other dependency in /usr/lib64. The downloaded
tarball installs 1.2 to /usr/local/lib (and headers
to /usr/local/include), so I explicitly referred to these libraries in
my compiles, e.g
gcc -o myapp -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib -levent myapp.c 
and then the following to run myapp;
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib ./myapp
Everything now works fine.

Hope that helps.

Thanks, Niels for a great library!
