Building latest stable tor on fedora core 5, i get:

checking for libevent directory... configure: error: Could not find a linkable libevent. You can specify an explicit path using --with-libevent-dir

I redo as:

# ./configure --with-libevent-dir=/usr/lib

I've got libevent-1.1a-so.1 in /usr/lib.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.
