As usal with CentOS I can up against a few  problems installing tor from source on CentOS 5 this is basically a list of those issues with steps to overcome.

First of all after downloading tor-0.1.2.16 extracting the tarball and typing ./configure I got a message saying no linkable libevent was found.

I tried installing this via yum but without much luck so decided to install it from source too - however this was more difficult than it seemed as the current version is libevent-1.3d but tor-0.1.2.16 requires a feature of libevent that only exists in version 1.3a so after going back and installing all previous versions until I found the one that worked.

After that I was able to configure, make and make install tor without any trouble
