I found that you need to execute the bootstrap as sudo otherwise the configuration will not be properly prepared.

Compilation fails if libevent-dev is not installed. I suppose you will need to add it to "Install prerequisites" list.

"sudo make" after "sudo ./bootstrap" just says that there is no makefile. Can't see any error msgs before it.

Run at first .configure and then make, it works then
