i have clean centos6 system, try to compile tor from sources. 1st way (installing libevent by yum). I do:
yum install libevent2
yum install libevent2-devel
...
(inside tor folder): ./configure
make
and get error:
src/common/libor-event.a(compat_libevent.o): In function `tor_gettimeofday_cache_clear':
/root/tor-0.3.1.7/src/common/compat_libevent.c:250: undefined reference to `event_base_update_cache_time'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [src/or/tor] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/tor-0.3.1.7'
make: *** [all] Error 2
2nd way (installing libevent from sources).
yum remove libevent2
yum remove libevent2-devel
..
(from libevent folder): ./configure
make
make install
..
(from tor folder): ./configure
and get error:
checking whether we need extra options to link libevent... configure: error: Found linkable libevent in (system), but it does not seem to run, even with -R. Maybe specify another using --with-libevent-dir}
So, what am i doing wrong?) what to do next?
It is possible that you missed to add the libevent library to library options
LDFLAGS+=-L[path of the libevent.so] -levent
What is the output of the make?
