    That's exactly right. The question is why do we get that missing library? I did install eventlib.
    From the cpan install:
    CPAN.pm: Going to build V/VP/VPARSEVAL/Event-Lib-1.03.tar.gz Checking existance of libevent...yes Checking capabilities... event_set_log_callback...yes event_priority_init...yes Additional defines: -DHAVE_LOG_CALLBACKS -DHAVE_PRIORITIES
    I just don't quite know what I've done wrong here. I had some trouble installing eventlib, but after getting a new version that appeared to work. I thought I was home free. Thanks for the interest.
