Attached is a .tar.gz which has the config.log from the 0.2.8.12 configure and one from the 0.2.9.9 configure.

Thanks.

Both configure scripts failed to find libevent headers (event2/event.h, event2/dns.h, event2/bufferevent.h) -- but that wasn't a hard error in 0.2.8.x and it is in 0.2.9.x. I believe this means the libevent on your system is too old, going by this entry in the changelog:

o New system requirements: - Tor now requires Libevent version 2.0.10-stable or later. Older versions of Libevent have less efficient backends for several platforms, and lack the DNS code that we use for our server-side DNS support. This implements ticket 19554.
