Ah k. 

yum remove libevent
ln -s /usr/lib64/libevent-2.0.so.5 /usr/lib64/libevent.so

made it.

So its not neccessary to built from sources. You can install the rpm (http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/21761893/dir/centos6/com/libevent-2.0.13-14.2.x8664.rpm.html) instead.

I think that it still picks up the libevent.so of libevent 1.4.x (from
the "libevent" package). When we installed the CentOS box for building
the RPM, we've finally built libevent 2.0.x from source (with the
libevent/libevent-devel packages removed in advance).

Good to know. Is pbone.net a trusted source for RPM packages? All those
banners didn't make a very reputable impression to me at first glance.
