Nut upsuser - Dec 2022 - Compiling on Solaris 8 sparc - configure errors

Don't have a SPARC machine anymore, but it is regularly tested on illumos
(which is ages newer than Sol8)... wondering if I can get an x86 vm running
with it...

In the meanwhile, add some `-D` options to the launched program so it is
more verbose. Is that other NUT (upsd) listening not on localhost?

Are firewall permissions allowing the connection?

Does the built `upsc` client connect?

Certainly older NUT did work for me on the platform (both ARCHes).

For the nut-scanner there's a configure option (to disable). Wondering
what's with perl script - probably wants dependencies not
present/functional in that distro.

Thanks for the reply and info.

I will do this and see if there?s any clues in the debug output.

Yes the other upsd is listening on the lan as well.  I have an ESXi server
talking to it just fine.

Yes.

No - same error ?Unknown error?.  This is what makes me think there is some
common code that?s unable to open sockets on Solaris.

Do you know what option this is ?  I probably scrolled past it, but I did look
for something to disable it.
