Thank you for the great tutorial. I would not have figured it out on CentOS.

1) for libevent, use ./configure –prefix=/usr instead of /usr/local (because /usr/lib is the default libraries folder on centos 5)

2) for memcached, use ./configure –with-libevent=/usr/lib (because this is the folder containing the libevent.so file)
notice the syntax : with-libevent and not with-lib-event

then run memcached…
and you should not encounter any errors for libevent not found

thanks for the tutorial anyway, just needed a few corrections

On ubuntu this is fixed by installing memcached and libevent first with apt. Calendar Server will only install its own versions if it doesn’t find one in the system. Perhaps there is an equivalent under CentOS?
