[Solved] Problem installing 2.21 on Centos

[Vickey007]

hello

i am using Centos and Last night i format my OS
and then i check transmission 2.21 is out..
i try to install it but getting error..
i use this method:

Code: Select all

wget http://download.m0k.org/transmission/files/transmission-2.21.tar.bz2
tar xjf transmission-2.21.tar.bz2
cd transmission-2.21
./configure

But me got this error:

Code: Select all

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.

while i had install libevent 2.0.10 and pkg-config also install


i then try to install transmission-2.13, because it was working fine before but it gives me error too
./configure

after that make command is not working
Error:

Code: Select all

What's wrong?

Case 1: Transmission 2.21, you probably need to install the libevent-devel or whatever is the package name in CentOS for the development parts;

Case 2: Transmission 2.13, this will not build with libevent 2.0.10, you need to downgrade libevent to 1.4.14b.

Thanks for reply but i want to install Transmission 2.21
so not getting how to install libevent-devel
i did yum install libevent-devel
and it was saying i had already installed

please help more..

[rb07]

i did yum install libevent-devel and it was saying i had already installed

And it is the correct version?

If it is the correct version, then look into the file config.log, find where it failed testing for libevent, the error message will be very clear and specific (something not found, or linker error, or other error). If you don't understand the problem, then post a few lines of the log, around the place where the error appears.

Hi,
some days ago I recompiled the transmission daemon version 2.20 and libevent 2.0.10 for CentOS 5.5 x86_64.

If you want to try it, this is the link to my blog post: http://geekery.blog.com/2011/02/15/tran ... aemon-cli/

mspallacci, 2.20 had a serious bug in the tarball; you'll want to build 2.21 instead.

[mspallacci]

Here it is the 2.21 version:
