i'd like to install nut on Mac OS X 10.4.9; i can't seem to get the Fink install to work (notes below), and i'm only semi-facile at command line installs; is installing nut on Mac OS X as simple as "make install" and no dependencies? if not is there a summary of what i'd need to do? regarding nut on Fink: based on a note in this list's archive i found that nut 2.0.4-1, plus nut-usb and nut-cgi, should be in Fink's stable branch: <http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/nut> however, with a fully up-to-date Fink install, neither the command line: fink list nut nor the equivalent in Fink Commander shows any listing for nut; switching to the unstable branch yields the same null result a workaround that get me nut via Fink would probably be the most productive route for me thanks in advance

I currently have a laptop running OS X, and my Cube just kicked the bucket, so I have not spent the time to figure out how to have the OS call NUT's shutdown script at the right time to turn off the UPS at the battery-low signal. Then again, you can still monitor remote systems with the Fink package. As for dependencies, you need libusb for a USB UPS, although you should be able to use Fink's libusb for that.> regarding nut on Fink: > based on a note in this list's archive i found that nut 2.0.4-1, plus nut-usb and nut-cgi, should be in Fink's stable branch: > > <http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/nut> > > however, with a fully up-to-date Fink install, neither the command line: > > fink list nutStrange. By "fully up-to-date", you mean that you have run "fink selfupdate" since installing? Also, is this 10.4.9 system an upgrade from 10.3? What does "fink --version" return? -- - Charles Lepple
