something like that ;-)

if you don't use snmp-ups, add "--without-snmp" to your configure options.

Note that I'm interested in looking at your config.log and build
output since NUT 2.4 might face the same problem but on core features
(libupsclient, used by upsc/upsmon/...)

now, that's simply a README I've made for an MGE customer when I've
adapted usbhid-ups to Solaris. These kind of reference have to be
removed.
