[Nut-upsuser] installing nut for Mac OS X

[steve harley]

i'd like to install nut on Mac OS X 10.4.9; i can't seem to get the Fink install to work (notes below), and i'm only semi-facile at command line installs; is installing nut on Mac OS X as simple as "make install" and no dependencies? if not is there a summary of what i'd need to do?


regarding nut on Fink: 
based on a note in this list's archive i found that nut 2.0.4-1, plus nut-usb and nut-cgi, should be in Fink's stable branch:

<http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/nut>

however, with a fully up-to-date Fink install, neither the command line:

  fink list nut

nor the equivalent in Fink Commander shows any listing for nut; switching to the unstable branch yields the same null result

a workaround that get me nut via Fink would probably be the most productive route for me


thanks in advance
