Subject: Event 0.86 fails make test

I am trying to install Event-0.86 on a Redhat system with Perl 5.8.0 and 
have encountered the following problem:

During make, I see:

In file included from Event.xs:278:
c/var.c: In function `pe_var_start':
c/var.c:87: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type
c/var.c:88: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type

During make test, I see

t/var.............dubious
       Test returned status 0 (wstat 11, 0xb)
DIED. FAILED tests 1-6
       Failed 6/6 tests, 0.00% okay
Failed Test Stat Wstat Total Fail  Failed  List of Failed
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
t/var.t        0    11     6    6 100.00%  1-6
Failed 1/23 test scripts, 95.65% okay. 6/115 subtests failed, 94.78% okay.
make: *** [test_dynamic] Error 2


Do you have any ideas why this may be happening?

Sincerely,
