 The following error occurs on CentOS 6.8 with tor-0.2.9.7-rc:

 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.
 make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
 make: *** No rule to make target `install'.  Stop.

 The correct RPM is installed:

 Package libevent-devel-1.4.13-4.el6.x86_64 already installed and latest
 version

 CentOS 6.8 built tor-0.2.8.9 without errors.
