[Nut-upsuser] psp on SuSE 10.0: free(): invalid pointer

[Peter Selinger]

Hi Roger,

it looks to me like you are describing a bug in PSP, not in NUT, so
this is perhaps the wrong mailing list to ask this question? Perhaps
you should ask MGE's technical support.

I recommend you try configuring NUT by following the instructions in
the file INSTALL in the NUT distribution. If it still does not work,
you should ask this list.
