hiredis "undefined reference to" compiler error

Question

I want to compile the client for redis in C. I've downloaded and installed the libevent library and the hiredis files. I've used this command:

gcc -I/home/tasos/Dropbox/lists/hiredis example-libevent.c -levent

but I get these errors:

/tmp/ccxoerYJ.o: In function `redisLibeventReadEvent':
example-libevent.c:(.text+0x28): undefined reference to `redisAsyncHandleRead'
/tmp/ccxoerYJ.o: In function `redisLibeventWriteEvent':

example-libevent.c:(.text+0x45d): undefined reference to `redisAsyncCommand'
example-libevent.c:(.text+0x47d): undefined reference to `redisAsyncCommand'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

why isn't this working?

Use -levent and -lhiredis compile option in command.
