self build rpm fails with missing dependencies on build host

Hi folks,

as I'm advancing in building some nice rpm I finally wanted to install on of my gems also the build was successful the actual install fails with missing dependencies.

Code:

$ rpm --root /home/sascha/rpmbuild/ -i ./RPMS/x86_64/memcached-1.4.1-2.x86_64.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
    libc.so.6()(64bit) is needed by memcached-1.4.1-2.x86_64
    libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2.5)(64bit) is needed by memcached-1.4.1-2.x86_64
    libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3)(64bit) is needed by memcached-1.4.1-2.x86_64
    libevent-1.4.so.2()(64bit) is needed by memcached-1.4.1-2.x86_64
    libpthread.so.0()(64bit) is needed by memcached-1.4.1-2.x86_64
    libpthread.so.0(GLIBC_2.2.5)(64bit) is needed by memcached-1.4.1-2.x86_64
    libpthread.so.0(GLIBC_2.3.2)(64bit) is needed by memcached-1.4.1-2.x86_64

libevent is not that problem it's needed for the build I just build another rpm for this

but whats causing me headache is why libc is needed?

Anyone any ideas?

Answering my one question is one of my favorites. The problem was libevent. After creating a rpm and installing it memcache was happy with its dependencies.
