Works fine for me. Just one question though. The changelog says:

Wed Apr  2 20:09:41 UTC 2008 / Arjen de Korte <arjen at de-korte.org>

 - common/state.[ch]: make the command list sorted (so that commands
   will be listed in alphabetic order by upscmd)

However, the output of upscmd is still not sorted for me:

$ upscmd -l rs800
Instant commands supported on UPS [rs800]:

test.panel.start - Start testing the UPS panel
test.panel.stop - Stop a UPS panel test
load.off.delay - Turn off the load with a delay (seconds)
shutdown.stop - Stop a shutdown in progress
shutdown.reboot - Shut down the load briefly while rebooting the UPS
beeper.on - Obsolete (use beeper.enable)
beeper.off - Obsolete (use beeper.disable or beeper.mute)
beeper.enable - Enable the UPS beeper
beeper.disable - Disable the UPS beeper
beeper.mute - Temporarily mute the UPS beeper
load.off - Turn off the load immediately
load.on - Turn on the load immediately
shutdown.return - Turn off the load and return when power is back
shutdown.stayoff - Turn off the load and remain off
$

Isn't it supposed to be sorted?

Thanks,

Dear list, I would like to test version 2.2.2-pre2 on openSUSE 10.3.  On 
this machine uname -a reports
                          
Linux glacon2 2.6.22.17-0.1-default #1 SMP 2008/02/10 20:01:04 UTC x86_64 x86_64
x86_64 GNU/Linux

I removed the current rpm's (2.2.0) with rpm -e and tried to install the 
2.2.2-pre2 rpm (a big thankyou to Arjen de Korte and Arnaud Quette).

glacon2 # rpm -Uvh nut-2.2.2-pre2.i586.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        libgd.so.2 is needed by nut-2.2.2-pre2.i586
        libneon.so.26 is needed by nut-2.2.2-pre2.i586
        libnetsnmp.so.15 is needed by nut-2.2.2-pre2.i586

These three libraries are present:

glacon2 # locate libgd.so.2
/usr/lib64/libgd.so.2
/usr/lib64/libgd.so.2.0.0
glacon2 # locate libneon.so.26
/usr/lib64/libneon.so.26
/usr/lib64/libneon.so.26.0.4
glacon2 # locate libnetsnmp.so.15
/usr/lib64/libnetsnmp.so.15
/usr/lib64/libnetsnmp.so.15.1.0

Any suggestion would be much appreciated,
Roger

Ok, it was just some n00b fumbling - I went back to the openSUSE 10.3 rpm 
repositories and found an rpm "gcc" which installs nothing, but
defines
links /usr/bin/cc -> gcc-4.2 and /usr/bin/gcc -> gcc-4.2

With this in place, the command 

rpmbuild --rebuild nut-2.2.2-pre2.src.rpm

goes further.  The output is visible at http://rogerprice.org/rpmbuild.log
It ends with 

checking whether to enable HAL support... yes
configure: error: "neon libraries not found, required for neon based 
XML/HTTP driver"
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.52627 (%build)

I looked for "neon" in the rpm repositories and found
"neon-devel" which
hadn't been asked for.  I installed it and  rpm -qa | grep neon  now 
reports
   neon-0.26.4-17
   neon-devel-0.26.4-17

With neon-devel in place, the build now produces three rpm's:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  321756 2008-04-19 19:29 nut-hal-2.2.2-pre2.x86_64.rpm

I'll try them tomorrow; meanwhile, another n00bie question : What does 
nut-hal do?  Do I need it?
