Hey kids, a quick tech update. We had some trouble finding this info, and wanted to spread the link love so others can find it.

If you want to install libevent on OSX, you might need the libevent development headers, or just to use it directly. Here's how to get ionto Mac OSX (Leopard, 10.5):

1. Download latest stable release of libevent from their site.
2. Unzip and cd into the libevent directory
3. Run ./configure && make
4. Run sudo make install

Don't forget the last step, just running "make" won't do it.

Thanks to Seventytwo for the info
