Re: Event::Lib fails install test (cpan -t)

in reply to Event::Lib fails install test (cpan -t)

I tried running the tests on this module, but before I could even get there - I untar'd the tarball, then:

$ perl Makefile.PL 
Checking existance of libevent...check.c:3:19: error: event.h: No such
+ file or directory
no
*******************************************
Couldn't find libevent which is required 
for this module.

To obtain it, go to
    http://www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent/
[download]

Have you made sure you have libevent installed?

Thanks for the reply. However, in looking at the CPAN install output I see the following which, to me, implies that libevent is present: ... `CPAN.pm: Going to build V/VP/VPARSEVAL/Event-Lib-1.03.tar.gz Checking existance of libevent...yes Checking capabilities... event_set_log_callback...yes event_priority_init...yes Additional defines: -DHAVE_LOG_CALLBACKS -DHAVE_PRIORITIES Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good` [download] ... Any suggestions are welcome.	[reply] [d/l]
