I tried using PowerChute but it is not set up for Debian. If I remember
correctly, it makes some assumptions about the location and version of
certain libraries that works only with RedHat, Suse and a few other
releases. Same problem you had. I contacted APC and they will not
support under Debian.
Have you tried using apcupsd or upsd? These appear to work better.
Again, I'm running from memory but I believe they were written by
looking at the signals that come into the computer from the UPS since
APC doesn't release the specs. To be honest, I have not had a chance to
try them, but they come with very detailed documentation. You might have
to wire your own cable, but I know that upsd supposedly works, although
not with all the bells and whistles that powerchute has.
FYI, APC continues to guard its communications specifications as
proprietary information. In last months "Linux Journal" it was announced
that TrippLite has released full spec's on their communications
parameters, though visiting their web site I was not able to locate
them. But, I'm thinking that my future purchases will be TrippLite.
