I tried a solution found in that group with the git gevent branch :

git branch -a
* upstream
origin/HEAD
origin/close-socket-cancel-event
origin/pywsgi-without-basehttpserver
origin/upstream
origin/wip-3-all
origin/wip-all
origin/wip-config
origin/wip-download
origin/wip-setup-config
ns38966:~/gevent# git checkout origin/wip-all
Note: moving to "origin/wip-all" which isn't a local branch
If you want to create a new branch from this checkout, you may do so
(now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:
git checkout -b <new_branch_name>
HEAD is now at 1033f59... simplify backdoor.py. also close connection
on SystemExit.
ns38966:~/gevent# python setup.py build_libevent build install
usage: setup.py [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 [cmd2_opts] ...]
or: setup.py --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...]
or: setup.py --help-commands
or: setup.py cmd --help

error: invalid command 'build_libevent'


So I can't install properly gevent on e debian.
Any suggestion are welcome.

Hello!

Gevent requires libevent 1.4.x or later. Check that debian has correct
version(if i'm not wrong lenny shipped with 1.3).

The libevent package in Debian 5.0 is too old. You need libevent 1.4
while Debian 5.0 has libevent 1.3.

What you can do is to install libevent from lenny-backports as
explained here: http://backports.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=instructions

After you've set up backports on your server, the right command would
be something like
apt-get install -t lenny-backports libevent-dev libevent-1.4-2

If you don't have root access, then download libevent from
http://www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent-1.4.14b-stable.tar.gz, build it
with
./configure --with-pic --disable-shared
make

and then build gevent with

gevent$ python setup.py build --libevent /path/to/libevent

Using backports is easier though.

Yes, thank you, libevent1.3 was installed.

I followed your instruction with success. 

It seems to work properly now.

try this instead:

$ GEVENT_DOWNLOAD_LIBEVENT=1 python setup.py install
