This is a bit confusing.
Firstly, the 0.48 build fails (though no mention of a missing EventAPI.h).

Secondly, if the 0.48 build finds EventAPI.h, I don't see why the 0.51
build can't do the same.
Neither of the 2 builds specify
-I/opt/perl5.12.2.debug/lib/site_perl/5.12.2/i86pc-solaris/Event
(which is the location of EventAPI.h).

Cheers,
Rob
