I'm stuck on compiling a localised version of transmission daemon with libevent. I'm atempting to link to a locally compiled version but its still failing.
any suggestions?

checking for LIBEVENT... configure: error: Package requirements (libevent >= 2.0.10) were not met:
No package 'libevent' found
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.
Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LIBEVENT_CFLAGS
and LIBEVENT_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Re: building transmission on rhel/sci 6
Hey,
Hopefully i can help you out here, i have just spent about an hour and a bit trying to get this to work myself, and what i found was:
even though i had libevent 1.4.1 installed via RPM, pkg-config was not detecting it at all (no pc file anywhere in pkg-configs path) (check yours with pkg-config --modversion libevent)
i could not get it to accept the LIBEVENT_CFLAGS and LIBEVENT_LIBS (though that may be me not putting them in correctly)
I could not get pkg-config to read PKG_CONFIG_PATH correctly (again could be the same thing)
Fixing it was easy though, simply go to where you installed libevent ( i didnt specify a prefix to it went to /usr/local/ but you can find it in yours) in the lib directory there is a pkgconfig directory, simply link the three files in there (should be three, but maybe more or less) to another directory that pkg-config reads no problem (for me /usr/lib64/pkgconfig worked, if you have 32bit just drop the 64 off lib)
Then when you run pkg-config --modversion libevent it reports 2.0.10, and transmission should compile (trying it now)
Confirmed it works. Now onto intltool
hopefully that'll just a yum install...

Yep just yum install intltool, that'll resolve it if you run into it.
Im making now, looks good
PS - did this on RHEL6, but it should be the same for Sci and CentOS 6 when it finally comes out.

Try This
yum -y install gcc gcc-c++ m4 make automake libtool gettext openssl-devel pkgconfig perl-libwww-perl perl-XML-Parser curl curl-devel libevent-devel libevent libidn-devel zlib-devel which
yum -y upgrade
yum install gcc gcc-c++ m4 make automake libtool gettext openssl-devel
Installing intltool
-----------------------
CentOS intltool package is out of date and a recent version is not available through the package manager.
We must compile it from source. Don’t quit now. This isn’t as scary as it sounds.
cd /usr/local/src
wget http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/ ... 0.6.tar.gz
tar zxf intltool-0.40.6.tar.gz
cd intltool-0.40.6
./configure --prefix=/usr
make -s
make -s install
===============================
wget http://monkey.org/~provos/libevent-2.0.10-stable.tar.gz
tar zxf libevent-2.0.10-stable.tar.gz
cd libevent-2.0.10-stable
./configure
make
make install
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig

Installing Transmission
--------------------------
Transmission is the actual torrent application that you will be using. Again, just copy paste the commands into the SSH client window.
cd /usr/local/src
wget http://download.transmissionbt.com/file ... 22.tar.bz2
tar xjf transmission-2.22.tar.bz2
cd transmission-2.22
./configure --prefix=/usr
make -s
make -s install
yum -y install gcc gcc-c++ m4 make automake libtool gettext openssl-devel pkgconfig perl-libwww-perl perl-XML-Parser curl curl-devel libevent-devel libevent libidn-devel zlib-devel which
