I've been looking at 
/usr/src/packages/SOURCES/nut-2.2.2/packaging/madriva/nut.spec which even 
though at version 2.0.1 is probably the closest to what is needed for nut 
2.2.2 on openSUSE 10.3, but it seems to me that I should teach myself how 
to build rpm packages before plunging into such a complex configuration.

A better approach for me would be to revert to a 32 bit OS, but this will 
take a little while.

Nevertheless, thanks for all your help,
Roger
