Yes, this is correct. You have to run now the command "autoreconf" and it will 
generate the configure script.

But I think you don't need the trunk version. Your SAI it's the same that 
mine. It HAS to work with megatec_usb and standard 2.2 version. Please 
uninstall WinPower if installed, and try again 2.2 version with megatec_usb. 
Watch the report when you init the upsd daemon. What says your system?. 

It can be a permissions problem, for example. On Gentoo, when plugged the USB 
cable, it creates a /dev/usb/hiddev0 device, but I have to change the udev 
policy to generate a symlink and with a working group, adding a rule like 
this:

KERNEL=="hiddev0", NAME="usb/%k", GROUP="nut", SYMLINK+="hiddev0"

Think about it. In your system, is executed as user "nut" and NOT root, maybe. 
Permissions by default of hiddev0 are "root root -rw-rw----", and this is 
permission denied when starting the daemon as user "nut".
