[Nut-upsuser] Usbhip-ups going wild

[Antoine Gatineau]

Indeed, nut depends on some packages not the distribution itself.
You are surely right. 

Anyway, here are the links :
RHEL 4 : ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/EPEL/4ES/SRPMS/nut-2.2.0-4.el4.src.rpm
RHEL 5 : nut-2.4.1 found only on this one
http://wolfy.fedorapeople.org/nut/SRPM/

On rpmfind.net, nut-2.4.1 is on available for recent fedora, doesn't work
with RHEL4 or 5...

FYI, in RHEL 4, I have a dependency issue when compiling nut-2.4.1 :
./configure --with-name=ups --with-group=nut --with-usb --with-hal

(hal-devel is installed)
Configure: error: "libhal not found, required for HAL support"
But libhal is located in /usr/lib (.so and .a)

I just tried it out. That is why I concluded nut-2.4.1 was not compliant
with RHEL 4.

Nothing in NUT itself depends on RHEL5, but the RPM spec file might be
written to require versions of packages only in RHEL5.

Do you have URLs for the SRPMs for RHEL4 and 5? We might be able to help
backport.
