This is just a follow-up to explain how I got the Event::Lib module installed for Ray Smith (who is a coworker of mine).

I noticed on his machine that he had installed libevent-1.3d into /usr/local/lib instead of /usr/lib, so I looked at the README file in /root/.cpan/build/Event-Lib-1.03, and found what looked to be a way to point to the /usr/local/lib directory instead: 

In case you have several libevents installed and you'd like to use
the one in /usr/local/(lib|include):
                                                                      
+          
   perl Makefile.PL INC=-I/usr/local/include LIBS="-L/usr/local/lib -l
+event"
   make
   make test
   make install

Unfortunately, using the extra switches to Perl didn't seem to have any effect, the errors were the same as before.

So I simply remade libevent, forcing the installation into /usr/lib, and that solved the problem -- his machine now successfully has Event::Lib installed.
