[Nut-upsuser] Install problem & Geek Squad UPS

[Peter Selinger]

>From the file INSTALL, step 1:

 1. Configure the source tree for your system.  Add the --with-user
    switch to set the user name that you created above.

        ./configure --with-user=nut

    If you need any other switches for configure, add them here.  For
    example:

    * to build and install USB drivers, add --with-usb (note that you
      need to install libusb development package or files).

That last sentence answers your question. Libusb is at:
http://libusb.sourceforge.net/  (or type "libusb" into Google).
