"libevent not found" error in tmux
linux, tmux
Solution
If you're trying to build software then you need the development package. Install `libevent-devel`.
On Debian/Ubuntu based distributions you can install it with
sudo apt install libevent-dev
Problem
I am trying to install tmux in my Scientific Linux release 6.5 (Carbon) machine These are the steps I followed ``` wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/tmux/tmux-1.9.tar.gz tar xvzf tmux-1.9.tar.gz ``` ``` cd tmux-1.9 ./configure ``` At this step it's showing the error: ``` configure: error: "libevent not found" ``` To solve it I did the following: ``` emacs /etc/yum.repos.d/pgdg-92-sl.repo ``` and added the following lines ``` [pgdg92] name=PostgreSQL 9.2 $releasever - $basearch baseurl=http://yum.postgresql.org/9.2/redhat/rhel-6.4-$basearch enabled=1 gpgcheck=0 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-PGDG-92 [pgdg92-source] name=PostgreSQL 9.2 $releasever - $basearch - Source failovermethod=priority baseurl=http://yum.postgresql.org/srpms/9.2/redhat/rhel-6.4-$basearch enabled=0 gpgcheck=0 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-PGDG-92 ``` Then did: ``` yum install libevent ``` It installed correctly Still the error configure: `error: "libevent not found"` is not solved Thanks in advance :)
