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?

Please post the contents of config.log.

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.

Ah - ok. Alrighty - will seek to find a way to rectify this… thanks for the quick addressing.
