Can you send those error messages.

The "EventLoop::run has not been called" comment applies to variable
"last_ev_run".

It looks like that you have tried to create more than one EventLoop
instance within the same binary. Currently, for many reasons we
don't support more than EventLoop instance. You would have to create
a single instance, and then pass it as reference elsewhere.

Currently it is not used (but will be used in the future). Its
purpose is to track the status of the network interfaces. Thus if,
say, a network interface goes down, then StaticRoutes will withdraw
all static routes that use that interface.
