ev_default_loop returns 0 when none of the backend worked. since select
and poll always succeed, I guess those two backends are not compiled
in. What configure output do you get? Do you have the required header
files and working select/poll?

Well, start your debugger and step through ev_default_loop, and see why it
returns 0 :)
