yum install libevent-dev

Now I have installed libevent,but its manuals are not installed:

[root@xx test]# man event_base_loop
Cannot open the message catalog "man" for locale "zh_CN.UTF-8"
(NLSPATH="<none>")

No manual entry for event_base_loop

How to make yum also install manuals?

You may want to mention what distro and version you're using. – Andrew M. Apr 6 '11 at 12:09

For some reason libevent-devel has the function-level man pages under its private documentation directory instead of the public man directory. Log a bug.

Copy or symlink the files. – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Apr 7 '11 at 2:17
Where is the private documentation directory? – yum Apr 7 '11 at 3:03
/usr/share/doc/$PACKAGENAME-$PACKAGEVERSION – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Apr 7 '11 at 4:12

It probably is installed--libevent just doesn't install separate documentation for each individual function. To see the documentation for libevent, use:

man 3 event
