Give rpm all the mutually dependent packages on the same command line, and it will recognize that the dependencies are satisfied:

rpm -ivh libevent-devel-1.4.13-4.el6.x86_64.rpm libevent-doc-1.4.13-4.el6.noarch.rpm libevent-headers-1.4.13-4.el6.noarch.rpm

I also found this circular dependency. Just workaround it by using the --nodeps option.

[root@box1 opt]# rpm -ivh libevent-devel-1.4.13-4.el6.x86_64.rpm --nodeps

Once installed, you can now install libevent-doc and libevent-headers without problems.

Download the libevent package from http://libevent.org/ and compile it.

wget "https://github.com/downloads/libevent/libevent/libevent-1.4.14b-stable.tar.gz"
tar -xzvf libevent-1.4.14b-stable.tar.gz
cd libevent-1.4.14b-stable
./configure
make
sudo make install
