my solutions for installing tmate server in centos 6.7 x64

[ppdouble]

I just install tmate server on my machine for personal use and for fun. so if you just install tmate server for fun, you might try these solutions. I am not ensure that it will work for you. Hope it is helpful for finding solutions.

1. configure error "msgpack >= 1.2.0 not found"

my solution: I just set enviroment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH after installing msgpack. Set PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig"

2. error when execute make

In file included from /usr/include/libssh/libssh.h:67:0,
                 from tmate.h:7,
                 from client.c:35:
/usr/include/netdb.h:591:16: error: expected identifier or '(' before '[' token
   int __unused([5]);

my solution: I just comment this line in /usr/include/netdb.h

3. error when execute make

   error: ‘EVBUFFER_EOL_LF’ undeclared (first use in this function)

my solution: I just follow solution here.

wget https://github.com/downloads/libevent/libevent/libevent-2.0.21-stable.tar.gz
tar xzvf libevent-2.0.21-stable.tar.gz
cd libevent-2.0.21-stable
./configure && make && make install && ldconfig

4. errors when execute make

   /lib64/libtinfo.so.5: could not read symbols: Invalid operation
   collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

   my solution: I just add -ltinfo to Makefile LIBS = -lutil -lssh -lmsgpack -lncurses -L/usr/local/lib -levent -lrt -lresolv -ltinfo

5. errors when execute make

my solution: I just add -L/usr/lib to Makefile LIBS = -lutil -lssh -lmsgpack -lncurses -L/usr/lib -L/usr/local/lib -levent -lrt -lresolv -ltinfo
