what is the problem Jesus?
Yes event_views needs views module to work
If you want to have the event_views additional features in the views, you need first the views module

I think that wiews installs two additional modules ui and rss.

Our admin views is this
http://drupalcat.org/views
and i.e. URL: views/calendar is the month view
is this
http://drupalcat.org/files/views_event_calendar.640x480.png

Anyway, this views, with cck and panels (how to build the layout) you have a flexible and easy way to publish mixed contents in a unique page.

See an example in a 2 colums panel (selection and placement of views)
left:
L1 for to show the month calendar
L2 the incoming events
right:
R1 Create an event (add new event node as block)
R2 Sign-up and R3 Conflicts

http://drupalcat.org/files/views_panel_x_events.640x480.png

with all this you have the set of option in an unique page and all in oneclick.

The event_views adds the views:
event_select event list Events list filtered by drop-down date selector. Page event/select Disabled
event_js event list Events list filtered by js date selector. Page event/selector Disabled
event_date event list Events list filtered by url arguments. Page event/date Disabled

Read the views README.txt, v 1.23.2.1 2006/09/17 16:42:57 is

OVERVIEW

The views module provides a flexible method for Drupal administrators to control
how lists of content are presented. Traditionally, Drupal has hard-coded most of
this, particularly in how taxonomy and tracker lists are formatted.

This tool is essentially a sort-of smart query builder that, given enough
information, can build the proper query, execute it, and display the results. It
has four modes, plus a special mode, and provides an impressive amount of
functionality from these modes.

INSTALLING VIEWS

In 4.7, Views can be installed simply by activating the module, thanks to the
new module installation features.

Please note that this is now TWO modules -- views.module and views_ui.module
DOCUMENTATION

Documentation is now available at http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/views.
The documentation files in the views package have been removed since they
are even more out of date.

As of 3/16/2006, the user documentation is UP TO DATE. The API documentation
is somewhat out of date, and the theming documentation is very out of date.
I hope to correct this in the very near future.

DOCUMENTATION

The best documentation will be here:

-------------- IMPORTANT --------------------------------------------------
-------------- IMPORTANT --------------------------------------------------

If you update Views or any module that uses Views, you MUST MUST MUST
go and resubmit the admin/modules page. Views caches information provided
by modules, and this information MUST be re-cached whenever an update
is performed.

DRUPAL CANNOT TELL AUTOMATICALLY IF YOU HAVE UPDATED CODE. Therefore you
must go and submit this page.

Hopefully in 4.8 this won't be an issue.
