Problem installing 0.8.0 on Debian Lenny [resolved]

[Gurvan Kervern]

Hello,

I have tried to install (or just run) MySQL Proxy 0.8.0 on a server lately but I can't seem to get it right :

I followed the instructions concerning the dependencies in the README and INSTALL but I always got at some point :
"configure: error: event_base_new() wasn't found in libevent. we need at least libevent 1.4"
(although libevent1, libevent-dev and libevent1-4.2 were installed)
So I removed libevent1 so it would look in libevent1-4.2 but then got :
"checking for event_init in -levent... no
configure: error: libevent is required"
I had the same issues with the version from the Bazar.

I tried to run from the binary distribution so I could play around with it and try some Lua scripts, but it seems like mysql-proxy doesn't use my --defaults-file and when I try to connect to it, I get :
"ERROR 1105 (00000): #07000(proxy) all backends are down"
even though both servers are up and running...

I had exactly the same problems with 0.7.2 but for some reason, it got to the end of ./configure and make this morning, so it appears I could do a "make install" of this version. But I would really rather use 0.8.0.

I have also tried the repository version of the package, but it was mysql-proxy0.6.0; and a .deb paquet of 0.7.2 but ran into the same dependencies problem I had with the source version.

Any insight into this problem would be much appreciated.
