Hi -
Trying to configure 0.2.9.9’s build with this command: ./configure --with-libevent-dir=/usr/local/lib --with-openssl-dir=/usr/local/openssl/
fails with: checking for libevent directory... configure: WARNING: We found the libraries for libevent, but we could not find the C header files. You may need to install a devel package. configure: WARNING: On most Redhat-based systems, you can get headers for libevent by installing the libevent-devel RPM package configure: error: Missing headers; unable to proceed.
whereas this worked (and still works) when being issued against 0.2.8.12’s source code
I have libevent-devel (and libevent-headers) installed on my system - and have been building tor on the system for many years now.
Does this ring a bell with anyone?
