In terminal:

tar zxpfv libevent*
cd libevent*
./configure
make install

Download and install memcached:

cd /usr/local/src/
wget http://www.danga.com/memcached/dist/memcached-1.2.4.tar.gz
tar zxpfv memcached*
cd memcached*
./configure
make install

I was trying to post to a webservice and was getting the 60 error code: Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with known CA certificates. .
The webservice I was trying to reach was over https.

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);

ftp_pasv($conn_id, true);
