RE: apcupsd on Red Hat 7.3 and Back-UPS XS USB

How about specifying the directory when running the configure script - like
this:

/configure --prefix=/usr/local --sbindir=/usr/local/sbin --with-serial-dev=/
dev/usb/hid/hiddev[0-9] --with-upstype=usb --with-upscable=usb --enable-pthr
eads --enable-usb

I downloaded, and did

./configure  '--with-serial-dev=/dev/usb/hid/hiddev[0-9]'
 --with-upstype=usb --with-upscable=usb   --enable-pthreads   --enable-usb

which seemed to go OK.

But when I went to install,...

[root uni apcupsd-3.10.5]# make install
/bin/sh ./ /sbin
./: ./: is a directory
make: *** [install-directories] Error 126

Looking at the Makefile, there appears to be no "mkdir" command to actually
make the directories.
install-directories: install-dir
	$(SHELL) $(MKINSTALLDIRS) $(DESTDIR)$(sbindir)
	$(SHELL) $(MKINSTALLDIRS) $(DESTDIR)$(mandir)
	@if [ ! -d $(DESTDIR)$(sysconfdir) ] ; then \
		$(SHELL) $(MKINSTALLDIRS) $(DESTDIR)$(sysconfdir); \
		chmod 755 $(DESTDIR)$(sysconfdir); \
	fi

$MKINSTALLDIRS = $(topdir)/, and $topdir isn't set to anyting.  Niether is
$DESTDIR

I tried making those directories by hand and bypassing that section, then
 make install ran without errors, but did not actually install any files.

You can see the output of "configure" at
http://thekramers.net/tmp/apc-configure.out

You can see my config.status at
http://thekramers.net/tmp/apc-config.status

You can see the Makefile at
http://thekramers.net/tmp/apc-makefile

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks.
