 The configure script aborts with the following output:

 {{{
 WARNING: We found the libraries for libevent, but we could not find the C
 header files.  You may need to install a devel package.
 }}}
 The test that fails complains of an implicit function declaration of
 event_init. This can be resolved by including the headers

 {{{
 event2/event_compat.h
 }}}
 I have attached the patch I used (taken from iCepa) to accomplish this.
