I played around with the selecting/deselecting config options and got apcupsd to install. Previously I had the following options selected:

aries# make showconfig
===> The following configuration options are available for apcupsd-3.14.10:
     APCSMART_DRV=on: Compile APC SmartUPS serial driver
     APCDUMB_DRV=on: Compile dumb UPS driver
     CLIENT_ONLY=off: Only NIS client (no network server or drivers)
     CGI=off: Compile with CGI programms to show status
     PCNET_DRV=on: Compile PowerChute Network Shutdown driver
     USB=on: Compile with USB Support driver
     SNMP_DRV=on: Compile with SNMP driver
     SNMP_DRV_OLD=off: Compile with old SNMP driver
     TCP_WRAPPERS=on: Compile with TCP_WRAPPERS support
     TEST_DRV=off: Compile TEST driver
     GAPCMON=off: Build GTK GUI front-end
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
aries#

The install with the above options failed. Next I ran make with the following options:

aries# make showconfig
===> The following configuration options are available for apcupsd-3.14.10:
     APCSMART_DRV=on: Compile APC SmartUPS serial driver
     APCDUMB_DRV=off: Compile dumb UPS driver
     CLIENT_ONLY=off: Only NIS client (no network server or drivers)
     CGI=off: Compile with CGI programms to show status
     PCNET_DRV=on: Compile PowerChute Network Shutdown driver
     USB=off: Compile with USB Support driver
     SNMP_DRV=off: Compile with SNMP driver
     SNMP_DRV_OLD=off: Compile with old SNMP driver
     TCP_WRAPPERS=on: Compile with TCP_WRAPPERS support
     TEST_DRV=off: Compile TEST driver
     GAPCMON=off: Build GTK GUI front-end
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
aries#

This time make succeeded and I was able to install.

What appears to be missing from my kernel file? Since the UPS is a SmartUPS 450SC, I really do not need the USB option. Nor do I need the APCDUMB_DRV option. This leaves the SNMP_DRV as a potential culprit. Does the kernel need to be compiled with SNMP?

I was able to install apcupsd on other FreeBSD machines. The only difference is that these other machines are running the RELEASE version kernel instead of a compiled kernel.
