I was following the instructions given in this page to install transmission 2.00b1: https://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/Building

When i enter

Code: Select all

./configure -q && make -s
it displays the following error:

Code: Select all

configure: error: libevent not found!
I was searching in the forum for solutions but cant find anything.

Thanks

Make sure you have libevent 1.4.x, and its development files, installed.

If you're the same person who was asking about this in irc a couple of days ago, I'll answer that here for future answer-seekers: your version of Debian only had libevent 1.3.x. Installing 1.4.x from "backports" solved the problem. :)

Yes, libevent 1.4.13 was installed, but the development files wasn't. To solve the problem just go to synaptic and install libevent-dev. Now it goes perfect.

Thank you!

Just another thing: I LOVE the new compact view, instead the old minimal view.
Thanks!
