OK, I'm not sure how you could fix that :( Sounds like a VirtualBox bug. >> What does pkg-config --cflags libusb say on your system? > 'Not found' - probably because I didn't/couldn't install the libusb-0.1.12 > port - even after disabling the FreeBSD version check in the Makefile that > would otherwise skip the port install.

I just double checked my system and there is a stub port which installs a libusb-config script and /usr/local/libdata/pkgconfig/libusb*.pc to point to the base library (which has shims for libusb 0.1 and 1.0 APIs). If you install /usr/ports/devel/libusb_base then pkg-config should find libusb (and so should NUTs configure script). -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list Nut-upsuser@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
