honeyd no event_priority_init in -levent error in configure

[tahahadjadj]

hello,
When I executed ./Configure in honeyd I get the following error
"checking for libevent... yes
checking for event_priority_init in -levent... no
configure: error: "libevent is too old - you need to install a newer version. Check http://www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent/"
"
I'm sure I have the last version of libevent
libevent-2.1.8-stable. Released 2017-01-22
I tried the other versions of libevent (2.1.* and 2.0.*)
and still get the same error.
please help
