Dave,

thanks for the info

for what it's worth, it is generally a bad idea to --with-xxx=/usr
since you might inadvertently use some other external components.

in your case, --with-libevent=external is what you need if you want to
use an external libevent library installed in /usr

i guess the same comment would apply with /usr/local too

btw, which distro are you using ? is your distro's libevent up to date ?
we might want to add a FAQ entry with a known to be broken libevent


Cheers,

Gilles
