I tried 'apt-get install apcupsd' and it worked, installing 
v3.10.something.  I couldn't get apctest to work, though, and the 
package didn't include the CGI files I wanted, so I removed it and 
downloaded the src for v3.12.4 (stable).  I compiled it, and everything 
seems to work, but it still didn't create the CGI files.  I'm sure I set 
the ./configure options correctly, so why didn't it create the CGI files?

I typed:
./configure --enable-powerflute --enable-cgi 
--with-cgi-bin=/var/www/web1/cgi-bin --with-css-dir=/var/www/web1/web 
--enable-usb --enable-pthreads --disable-dumb --enable-test 
--with-nis-port=3551 --sbindir=/sbin --with-upstype=usb --with-upscable=usb

and then:
make install

Here's config.out:

That all looks fine, so I don't know where it went wrong.
