Yup - until 2010[1]. This is, in fact, one of the reasons RHEL is awesome.
For the original question: I'm not sure if libevent uses epoll on RHEL3,
but I didn't have any problems compiling it and having it pass the tests.
Unless something has changed very recently, epoll isn't included by
default in RHEL3, and it's a pain to patch in. I gave up.
I believe it *is* included on RHEL4, or else it was very easy to
install, since I don't remember our RHEL4 boxes requiring anything special.
