Hi Matthew,

I am attempting to install memcached 1.2.2 on a Sun V240 running Solaris 10 11/06. I am receiving an error message that indicates libevent is not installed. However, I have already installed libevent 1.3b and I specified the location of the library files.

If I recall correctly (I'm not certain of this), when the build searches for libevent, it's looking for the prefix that had been used for libevent, not the lib/ directory specficically. I believe if you set up the LDFLAGS and have the prefix used with libevent, it'll work for you.

Having said that, in the Cool Stack project we've already compiled/tested memcache and its dependencies, so you should just be able to download and pkgadd. It currently has libevent1.2a and memcached 1.2.0 though. Have a look at http://cooltools.sunsource.net/coolstack/

If you'd still like to build the latest yourself, you may want to reference the build scripts we used. They can be found in either a download of the source tarballs or in the source from the OpenSolaris Web Stack project here:
http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/xref/webstack/webstack/trunk/src/memcached-1.2.0/make_solaris.sh

You may also want to read the README.coolstack in there

Since you're on SPARC, if high-performance binaries are important to you, you'll want to use either Sun Studio compilers or GCC4SS (also on the cooltools.sunsource.net) site.

Now that I look at it though, it looks like we also had an LD_LIBRARY_PATH in there. I'm not sure why right now, but I know who to ask if you need to know. Regardless, it should be a good reference to help you find what's missing in your build.

I hope that helps,

- Matt
