Just wondering why you use vuze... It was my first ever torrent client and I had used it for a while until I switched. Switched because the updates would give difficulties in starting up the client from time to time until I was fed up dealing with that and while I did like some of the little features in vuze over transmission, I could not be happier. Vuze always ran like a sluggish piece of badly written software...
Did you link to libevent via flags put along the ./configure? I thought I had libevent installed properly so that ./configure for transmission would be able to find it, but until I used the flags it was not.
I swore off polluting default locations with custom-built libraries, so I keep everything as local as possible.
My libevent is configured with
Code:
./configure --prefix=`pwd`/install
My transmission is built like so (IIRC, what really matters is the -levent switch)
Code:
#!/bin/bash
install_path="`pwd`/install"
libevent_path="/usr/local/src/libevent-1.4.14b-stable/install"
export LIBEVENT_LIBS="-L$libevent_path/lib -levent"
export LIBEVENT_CFLAGS="-I$libevent_path/include"
./configure --prefix=$install_path
if [ $? != 0 ] ; then exit ; fi
echo press any key to make... ; read a
make
if [ $? != 0 ] ; then exit ; fi
echo Install into $install_path [Y/n]
read -n 1 a
if [[ $a == "" ]] || [[ $a == "y" ]] || [[ $a == "Y" ]] ; then
make install
fi
I just finished testing this code with libevent-1.4.14b-stable and transmission-2.04 (both latest stable), everything seems kosher.

Ahh yes, the LIBEVENT variables you set were the ones I needed to get transmission to see where libevent was installed to. I also stray from polluting default locations as much as I can... All these years of using Slackware and I have never thought of using a script to not only store necessary variables needed for a compile, but also to automate the compile process until now! Thanks!
I use ctorrent, because it just works, unlike all the fancy GUI BS apps I've tried, all bloated and unstable and have to update all the time. I just want something simple that gets the job done.
