When attempting to ./configure PHP 5.3.3 on Ubuntu 8.04, I get the error:
checking for libevent >= 1.4.11 install prefix...
configure: error: Could not find libevent >= 1.4.11 in /usr/local/
I tried installing the libevent-dev and libevent1 packages, but same error.
I then removed the packages, downloaded and compiled libevent from source. Same error.
Locate shows that libevent was installed to /usr/local/lib/libevent.so with all its friends in /usr/local/lib/.
I tried configuring with the option:
--with-libevent-dir=/usr/local/lib/
Basically the same error:
checking for libevent >= 1.4.11 install prefix...
configure: error: Could not find libevent >= 1.4.11 in /usr/local/lib/
Any suggestions??
