thanks for your report.
I've already fixed some issues, around 2.6.2 and nut-scanner compilation.
The one you're quite probably facing there is that you have pre-2.6.2
libupsclient available on your system.
These do not provide upscli_tryconnect(), and conflict with the newly
compiled one, in your NUT source directory.
Could you please try to uninstall your system-wide libupsclient,
relaunch a compilation and report back?

cheers,
Arnaud
