libcouchbase and libevent

Hi,

I had a simple store/get libcouchbase program running successfully in C++. It was compiled, and linked with the -lcouchbase flag.

I then added the -levent flag (in addition to the -libcouchbase) at the end so I could start doing some event loops, but didn't add any code (only changed the flag). The program compiles and links successfully. However, for some reason I now get this error: Error 27, "Temporary failure on the client" on every request. I removed the -levent and it works, added it back and it doesn't - multiple times. I tried both on libcb for 1.8 and 2.0 and it's the same issue.

How can I fix this?

Thanks
