installing libevent library libraries on Ubuntu

I am using ubuntu 10.10 trying to install the libevent development libraries libevent1 and libevent2. I used the following command:

apt-get install libevent-dev libevent1-dev But it shows- Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package libevent1-dev

Then I apt-get install libevent-dev But he says libevent-dev is already the newest version. Is this libevent2? I am the root user. Am I doing something wrong? Does ubuntu 10.10 support libevent2? I really appreciate your help. Thanks

Yes, libevent-dev installs libevent2. If you check what apt-get says when it installs it:

 apt-get install libevent-dev Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following extra packages will be installed: libevent-core-2.0-5 libevent-extra-2.0-5 libevent-openssl-2.0-5 libevent-pthreads-2.0-5 The following NEW packages will be installed: libevent-core-2.0-5 libevent-dev libevent-extra-2.0-5 libevent-openssl-2.0-5 libevent-pthreads-2.0-5

Pay attention to the version of libevent version 2.0.x.
