in reply to Does Event::Lib can be use on 64 bit box?

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:
[root@localhost ~]# ls -ld /root/.cpan/build/Event-Lib-1.03/blib/arch/ +auto/Event/Lib/Lib.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 142438 Sep 17 12:07 /root/.cpan/build/Event-Li +b-1.03/blib/arch/auto/Event/Lib/Lib.so
I don't know why Event::Lib can't load this Lib.so.
following is a more detail install log:

    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"
    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:)
