Try find where is `libevent` installed and add it to `LIBRARY_PATH`. I think this dependency is pulled in from libtool library, probably one of the ucx dependency. Usually the libtool package should contain the `-L…` for the library. But the breakage will happen
if one installs the library to a different paths than the one specified during configure.
These (libtool) magic are wonderful when it works, but so annoyingly difficult to address when it doesn’t

Subject: [mpich-discuss] MPICH build errors, cannot find -levent(_pthreads)
Hi MPICH-developers,
I’m seeing a build error for mpich-3.3.2 on a cluster using gcc-9.3.0. I tried installing mpich using spack while linking against ucx and pmix installed by sysadmins at /usr/local. The error is as follows :
>> 14144 /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -levent
>> 14145 /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -levent_pthreads
>> 14146 collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
>> 14147 make[2]: *** [lib/libmpi.la] Error 1
14148 make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/sas4990/spack-stage/spack-stage-
mpich-3.3.2-no52nugggqn3fuligbvtucr2uaxdf47d/spack-src'
>> 14149 make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
14150 make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/sas4990/spack-stage/spack-stage-
mpich-3.3.2-no52nugggqn3fuligbvtucr2uaxdf47d/spack-src'
>> 14151 make: *** [all] Error 2
I’m attaching all the spack logs (build-env, build-out and config-args). Let me know if there is any log file that I can send to help debug the issue.
Thanks in advance for the help and hope everyone is staying safe from the virus!
PS: I sent this email with config.log before but it didn't go through, hence I'm sending it again without it. Please feel free to delete/reject the first one.
