[Fwd: Re: [Nut-upsuser] Install problem & Geek Squad UPS]

[Peter Selinger]

Hi Gary,

sorry, that was my fault. I quoted the wrong file (from the
development version, not 2.0.5). In version 2.0.5, the information is
also in the file INSTALL, but it is contained in step 2, not step 1:

 2. Build the programs.

        make

    Optionaly, you can also build the USB drivers using:

        make usb

    Note that you need to install libusb development package or files.

Them NUT version you have (2.0.5) is the correct one. -- Peter
