Short version - can I run NUT on an AIX box with UPS that has a USB interface, like a Tripplite OMNI1500 XL? I downloaded the source and compiled it, but then noticed that while the source file tripplite_usb.c file is present, it wasn't compiled (this is the driver shown on the compatibility list for my ups). So I started looking at the make files and noticed there were no entries in drivers/Makefile under USB_DRIVER_LIST. I added tripplite_usb and tried make build-usb. I now get an error message that usb.h does not exist. It's not in the include directory with the source code. Googgling various combinations of [usb.h AIX NUT download] didn't produce any useful results. Any thoughts?

"tripplite_usb" falls into the latter category. That said, AIX is not on the compatibility list here: http://libusb.sourceforge.net/ Does AIX provide any Linux binary compatibility? You might be able to use libusb compiled for Linux/PowerPC, but USB is probably not one of those things that they provide emulation support for. I have not used AIX in about ten years, though, so I don't know. -- - Charles Lepple
