./configure: libevent not found

[dajuno]

I am trying to compile tmux 2.5 on OpenSUSE 3.16.53, via this bash script, with libevent 2.1.8 and ncurses 5.9.

libevent is configured with:

./configure --prefix=$HOME/local --disable-shared

ncurses ./configure:

./configure --prefix=$HOME/local

tmux ./configure:

./configure CFLAGS="-I$HOME/local/include -I$HOME/local/include/ncurses" \
LDFLAGS="-L$HOME/local/lib -L$HOME/local/include/ncurses -L$HOME/local/include" \
CPPFLAGS="-I$HOME/local/include -I$HOME/local/include/ncurses" \
LDFLAGS="-static -L$HOME/local/include -L$HOME/local/include/ncurses -L$HOME/local/lib" make

The tmux configuration fails due to libevent issues:

checking for LIBEVENT... no
checking for library containing event_init... no
checking event.h usability... yes
checking event.h presence... no
configure: WARNING: event.h: accepted by the compiler, rejected by the preprocessor!
configure: WARNING: event.h: proceeding with the compiler's result
checking for event.h... yes
configure: error: "libevent not found"

Thanks in advance!

config.log?

Sorry, my bad. There was -L$HOME/local/lib64 missing in LDFLAGS for libevent.
