yum install automake.noarch

And if you had bad ./configure execution may be you need make clean

In case you're a dummy like me, ./configure also has to be run with root privs, not just the yum / make commands. And make sure that /usr/local/bin is in your path.

Install latest tmux(3.x) on centos 7:

yum install http://galaxy4.net/repo/galaxy4-release-7-current.noarch.rpm
yum install tmux

tmux -V

the easiest way probably directly downloaded the tmux 3,3 package from http://galaxy4.net/repo/RHEL/7/x86_64/tmux-3.3-1.el7.x86_64.rpm use wget. and then use rpm -ivh tmux to install it. no yum involved
