Which do not seem to be available for pclos.  Darn.  And neither are the 
snmp pieces. libusb-devel I just installed.  Unforch, that didn't get me 
the usb stuff. libusb is actually libusb1.0 here.

I used the --without option after the --with-all to bypass that which pclos 
doesn't have, and wound up with a final configure output of:

Configuration summary:
enable SSL development code: yes
enable libwrap (tcp-wrappers) support: yes
build CGI programs: no
build and install the development files: yes
build serial drivers: yes
build SNMP drivers: no
build USB drivers: yes
enable HAL support: yes
build neon based XML driver: yes
build Powerman PDU client driver: yes

So I should have enough tools to access this turkey.

Now, before I do the make, can I chown this whole tree to myself or does it 
have to be a root only utility?

I was hoping I could just give it a web page since I run a server here 
anyway for my own web pages, but probably not possible without the CGI 
stuff. That can be seen at
<http://gene.homelinux.net:85/gene> if you've half an hour to waste looking 
at what keeps this old fart out of the bars. ;-)

Thanks, Arjen
