Yes, that's the one. Two issues:

1) If testlibusb does not print anything when you run it, then NUT probably won't see any USB devices, either. Does your board have /dev/bus/usb or a similar usbdevfs mounted?

2) Since testlibusb.c runs, you should be able to re-run the NUT configure script, and it should detect libusb-0.1.12. I am not sure if libusb-compat will get in the way, though.
