I am trying to build tmux
locally (no root, so no yum install possible
).
On Centos7
I cannot build it...
~/build/tmux-2.3$ ./configure --prefix=/home/statquant/programs/
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /usr/bin/mkdir -p
checking for gawk... gawk
[...]
checking for library containing clock_gettime... none required
checking for LIBEVENT... no
checking for library containing event_init... no
checking event.h usability... no
checking event.h presence... no
checking for event.h... no
configure: error: "libevent not found"
yum
tells me I have libevent
statquant@nyzls900t:~/build$ yum list libevent
Installed Packages
libevent.x86_64
If I try to locate
it it is fine:
statquant@nyzls900t:~/build/tmux-2.3$ ll /usr/lib64/libevent*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Dec 2 09:04 /usr/lib64/libevent-2.0.so.5 -> libevent-2.0.so.5.1.9*

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 11200 Jun 13 2014 /usr/lib64/libevent_pthreads-2.0.so.5.1.9*
Finally I have it it my LD_LIB
statquant@nyzls900t:~/build/tmux-2.3$ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/usr/lib64:/usr/lib
But honestly I'd just ask your sysadmin to install tmux. It's a pretty reasonable request. – mattdm – 2017-01-15T18:12:16.847
I built it, that's straighforward, now I just need to get http://superuser.com/questions/1167641/how-can-i-alias-a-binary-dependent-on-the-machine-i-am-on answered and I am good
