I got the error
configure: error: "libevent not found"
aswell. Had a look around, exchanged lib
with lib64
and it worked
Thank You!
2 things:
1- the ncurses download is a 301 and a 404. Get it from their github.io page
2 -I had issues with finding gcc in ./conigure for tmux:
For installing in $HOME/usrbin/ I used:
./configure --prefix=$HOME/usrbin/ CFLAGS="-I$HOME/usrbin/local/include -I$HOME/usrbin/local/include/ncurses" LDFLAGS="-L$HOME/usrbin/local/lib -L$HOME/usrbin/local/include/ncurses -L$HOME/usrbin/local/include"
I also was using ncurses 6.0 and libevent 2.0.21
