Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  Added tsocks as a dependency. It's a small dependency.

tor (also?) lost libary libevent-1.1a.so.1 :

[root@C3PO ~]# /usr/bin/tor
/usr/bin/tor: error while loading shared libraries: libevent-1.1a.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[root@C3PO ~]# ln -s /usr/lib/libevent-1.3b.so.1.0.3 /usr/lib/libevent-1.1a.so.1
[root@C3PO ~]# /usr/bin/tor
Jun 05 21:17:56.592 [notice] Tor v0.1.1.26. This is experimental software. Do not rely on it for strong anonymity.
Jun 05 21:17:56.594 [notice] Initialized libevent version 1.3b using method epoll. Good.
Jun 05 21:17:56.594 [notice] connection_create_listener(): Opening Socks listener on 127.0.0.1:9050

No big deal, but unnecessary trouble.
Is not related to tsocks, but the header fits on this problem.

Status on this?
As I see it has libevent as a depends.
What about tsocks? Is it optional dependency?

From http://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-doc-unix.html.en it looks like tsocks should not be necessary...
Comment by Corrado Primier (bardo) - Saturday, 22 December 2007, 18:41 GMT
I think it'd be better to add a post_install message, remembering to also install tsocks and/or socat if it is needed to torify some applications. The libevent missing dependency has been added.
