When installing Apple’s Darwin Calendar Server on Ubuntu 8.04 it includes a version of both memcached and libevent. Memcached cannot find the libevent and I got the same error as above “error while loading shared libraries: libevent-1.4.so.2: …”.
The fix as described in this article worked for me.

Thanks Alex.

Cheers, this helped out a ton.

I never even knew about the ld system, so I’ll definitely be using that to troubleshoot other problems in the future.

Thanks! Been trying to get Apple’s CalendarServer to work on Fedora 8, but couldn’t work out for all these memcache / libevent errors..
