[Nut-upsuser] using nut to monitor SNMP UPS unit

[Peter Selinger]

Hi Tim,

if you are using NUT 2.0.4, then you should look at the instructions
in the file INSTALL. Step 2 is the following:

I think the last sentence answers your question.

In case you want to compile the development version from SVN, the
procedure is slightly different, but it too is explained in INSTALL.
