sunshine_august has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Dear all monks:
I install Event::Lib on a 64-bit box, make test failed almost 100%:(: 
t/80_processes.t                 255 65280    ??   ??       %  ??
t/90_leak.t                      255 65280    ??   ??       %  ??
t/91_leak.t                      255 65280    ??   ??       %  ??
t/92_leak.t                      255 65280    ??   ??       %  ??
t/93_leak.t                      255 65280    ??   ??       %  ??
2 tests skipped.
Failed 34/36 test scripts, 5.56% okay. 101/101 subtests failed, 0.00% 
+okay.

Is Event::Lib not for 64bit box? and also I failed to make verify with the libevent-1.4.8-stable:

I guess libEvent can't be used on 64bit box. If I am wrong, pls correct me.
thx in advance

Re: Does Event::Lib can be use on 64 bit box?
by sunshine_august (Scribe) on Sep 17, 2008 at 04:15 UTC
    I can't install Event::Lib for this reason:
    Can't load '/root/.cpan/build/Event-Lib-1.03/blib/arch/auto/Event/Lib/Lib.so' for module Event::Lib:
    the Lib.so exists in the right place:

    I can't figure out what is wrong. some hint?
[reply]
[d/l]
[select]
      The hint is this:
      Note (probably harmless): No library found for -levent
      Install Event::Lib on my box thru CPAN module reports "No library found for -levent" , so I tried to install it thru source,and specified the location of libevent.so like:
      perl Makefile.PL INC=-I/usr/local/include LIBS="-L/usr/local/lib -leve
+nt"

      [download]
      then all the test is successful.
      Although make test with Event::Lib successfully, 'make verify' with libevent still reports FAILED, this is weird.
      Whatever, Event::Lib can work well in my box now:)
