cd /usr/local/src
wget http://www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent-2.0.10-stable.tar.gz
tar -xzvf libevent-2.0.10-stable.tar.gz
cd libevent-2.0.10-stable
./configure
make
make install



cd /usr/local/src

for php 5.2.10 integration

pecl install memcache
You should add "extension=memcache.so" to php.ini
