And thanks for the advice. When I installed libevent through yum, it put it in /usr/, but it's good to be aware of the potential problems if you install by hand or another manager.

I use memcached and was just reinstalling on anew server tonight. They cam in handy If you put memcached into /usr/, but libevent is in /usr/local/, you might have some headaches getting it to pick up libevent Test this by just issuing 'memcached', and it may report "memcached: error while loading shared libraries: libevent-1.4.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" Find out where its trying to find the libs, by issuing LD_DEBUG=libs memcached -v 2>&1 > /dev/null | less In my case I had to create a symbolic link ln -s /usr/local/lib/libevent-1.4.so.2 /lib/libevent-1.4.so.2 Thanks for the startup scripts.

Test this by just issuing ‘memcached’, and it may report
“memcached: error while loading shared libraries: libevent-1.4.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory”

Find out where its trying to find the libs, by issuing
LD_DEBUG=libs memcached -v 2>&1 > /dev/null | less

In my case I had to create a symbolic link
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libevent-1.4.so.2 /lib/libevent-1.4.so.2
